Our Farm & Our People

Opstal has been around for a while — since 1847, to be exact.

That’s when JC Rousseau acquired the farm, then known as De Opstal bij de Fonteine. Quite a mouthful, but thankfully the name Opstal stuck!

Fast forward just over 100 years to 1950, when 4th-generation Carl Everson decided to do things a little differently. While many producers were joining the local cooperative, Carl chose to make his own wine on the farm.

And we’re rather glad he did.

That decision set Opstal on a path that has continued through the generations. Today, we make a range of wines that reflect the different sides of Opstal — from everyday easy drinking to serious, cellar-worthy bottles.
