Nestled in the hills of Polkadraai near Stellenbosch, Karibib Wine Craft has become a beacon for those seeking the roots of exceptional wine. The story begins in 2010 when Jozua Joubert inherited the farm, marking a transformative chapter in the history of Karibib.
Stepping into the shoes of his father, Jozua Joubert took the reins of Karibib with a legacy that now resonates across the wine landscape. Initially, his reluctance to leave his winemaking role at Warwick gave way to a passionate commitment to manage and nurture Karibib.
The farm's name found its place on labels, notably Adam Mason's Raised by Wolves Karibib Chardonnay, marking the beginning of a significant chapter.
Jozua's dedication extends to supplying fruit to 26 different producers, including renowned names like Reenen Borman's Sons of Sugarland and Van Loggerenberg Graft, both acclaimed cape syrahs. Karibib has etched its mark on the discerning wine lover's palate, proving its mettle in the world of fine wines.
Perched on the slopes of Polkadraai, Karibib embraces a hands-on winemaking approach. The architectural style, low-tech and environmentally conscious, stands as a testament to the farm's departure from industrial winemaking. Jozua Joubert's commitment to a more intimate winemaking experience is palpable in every bottle produced.
Karibib Wine Craft specialises in crafting new world classic lighter styles of wine, exemplified by varietals like Chenin Blanc, Shiraz, and Muscat Blanc. Their dedication to excellence is underscored by Platter Awards recognition, with Lucinda Heyns - Illimis Pinotage earning 5 Stars.
