More About Donkiesbaai: Far up the West Coast, about 3 hours’ drive north of Cape Town, lies an open bay of white sand strewn with black mussels and kelp, with the icy waters of the Atlantic beating the shore. This is Donkiesbaai, where the Engelbrecht family have holidayed for four generations. This unassuming spot lends its name to our adventurous range of wines from Piekenierskloof on the Citrusdal Mountains. The wine was made with the cuisine of the west coast in mind. Crayfish, Harders, and a cold glass of wine is part of the history that is Donkiesbaai. With this wine we raise a glass to family & friendships.

When Jean Engelbrecht opened the fine-dining restaurant at Rust en Vrede in 2007, his perspective on wine quietly shifted. Wine was no longer considered in isolation, but as a partner at the table. While the estate’s celebrated reds spoke powerfully on their own, Jean envisioned a complementary range—wines of equal pedigree, yet shaped for broader gastronomic expression. He began looking beyond the estate for vineyards better suited to varieties that favour finesse and versatility.
