Our Farm & Our People

Opstal Estate’s rich history dates back to 1847 when JC Rousseau acquired the farm De Opstal bij de Fonteine. Just over a century later, in 1950, fourth-generation Carl Everson decided to continue making his own wine instead of joining the local cooperative winery like many other producers.

Today, Opstal offers a wide range of quality estate wines under three different labels: the fun, easy-drinking, and pocket-friendly Sixpence Range; the classical and food-friendly Estate Range; and the premium Heritage Range, with our multiple 5-star Platter award-winning Carl Everson Chenin Blanc, the cream of the crop. When we say family, we mean it in every sense of the word.
