About Anysbos Wine Estate

In the heart of the Botrivier Valley, Anysbos Wine Estate tells a story of learning, passion, and persistence. What began in 2008 with the purchase of two plots of land has grown into a thriving estate named after the indigenous Anysboegoe (Agathosma Cerefolium) herb. Through seasons of trial and error, from salinity challenges to goat pen redesigns and soil battles, Anysbos has become a symbol of regenerative resilience and respect for the land. Today, the estate produces exceptional small-batch wines, nurtured through dryland bush vines and shaped by deep, hands-on understanding of terroir.

Wine

Anysbos specialises in Rhône-style wines that reflect the complexity of the Overberg’s soil and climate. The estate planted the first dryland bush vine Grenache in Botrivier in 2012 and has since expanded its portfolio to include Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, Shiraz, and Cinsaut. With minimal irrigation, careful vineyard management by farm manager Quintus, and sensitive, honest winemaking by Marelise Niemann, each bottle captures the essence of the land. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir remain as nods to their beginnings, it’s the unique Mediterranean varieties that define the Anysbos identity today. Shop their wine here.

Anysbos does not offer a restaurant on site. However, guests are encouraged to explore the many excellent dining options throughout the Botrivier Valley and nearby Overberg towns, where locally inspired cuisine pairs beautifully with Anysbos wines.
