“At the dawning of the Cape, the swans rejoined, feeding in paradise at the foot of the Steenberg Mountains.”
Steenberg, 'Mountain of Stone', has a romantic ring, but the original name was even more beautiful, it was called 'Swaaneweide' - The Feeding Place of Swans. Whether swans did indeed fly down to drink and swim in the cool clear waters of the farm, or whether the first owner, Catharina Ras, was being nostalgic about her former home in Lubeck, on the Baltic coast of Germany, is hard to tell. Whatever her reason, she named her estate Swaaneweide, Ras had named the farm after what she thought were swans which are not indigenous to South Africa and certainly not Constantia, it is thought that she had mistaken the spur-winged geese for swans because today you will still find a large population of these spur-winged geese at Steenberg.
Farm manager, Johann de Swardt and his staff, tenderly care for the vines, forever sensitive to the whisperings and secrets that the vines unfold. Johan says “our mission is to run the farm with nature as our leading partner and teacher. It is a long process and sometimes difficult not to interfere too harshly, but as the balance gets restored, we will reap the benefits.”
