Our History
The farm, established between 1999 and 2022, is located 50km from Noordoewer on the Orange River. It spans over 800 hectares, with 416 hectares dedicated to vineyards. Originally under government ownership (GRN) and managed by the National Youth Service (NYS), the farm transitioned to a partnership with Capespan in 2007/2008.This agreement, which was extended in 2012/2014 until 2028, saw the Government resume 100% shareholding after the exit of GIPF as a shareholder. The agreement grants Capespan extensive control over the farm’s operations and full value chain, including governance and strategy, with minimal input from the NGC board. Essentially, Capespan functions as an independent operator, assuming all business risks and providing working capital in the form of a production loan. In return, NGC contributes the farmland and some capital expenditure to the partnership.
