The history of Springfield dates back to 1698 when the governor of the Cape first granted this farmland, then known as “Hooge Bergs Vallei” (later “Springfield”), thereby making it one of the oldest and most significant farms, not only in Durbanville, but in what will be known as the greater, modern-day Cape Town.
-
The DAMASCENE founders were united by three passions; the pursuit of excellence, a spirit of discovery, and the desire to preserve nature through sustainable agriculture. Wine entrepreneur David Curl (the former owner of Chateau Gaby in Canon-Fronsac) had begun discussions with winemaker Jean Smit about his involvement in Moya Meaker wines; an Elgin-based winery focussing on premium cool-climate Burgundy cultivars.
But after many long conversations about life, the meaning of quality, and the philosophical search for what wine should be (rather than what it is) they were both convinced that their collaboration would not end there. Within six months, Damascene was conceived; a series of wines that would tell the story, not of their owners, or marketing trends, but of the very vineyards themselves.

Moya Meaker was a beauty queen. Miss South Africa 1959. That was her claim to fame, for a moment in time. But her legacy… well…that’s timeless. Because Moya was also a mother, a wife, a friend, and a servant of the community, wherever she went. She was a force of nature, who sought beauty in the overlooked, and found joy amidst trial. Her spirit lives on through the people she strengthened. Every wine produced in the Moya Meaker range seeks to honour that spirit.

We combine classical wine styling with contemporary thinking. We work hard in the vineyards to grow and harvest expressive, optimally ripened fruit that brims with the purity of varietal flavour so we can keep intervention in the cellar to the minimum. We also rely on precision farming, the application of artificial intelligence, machine learning and data to yield rich and detailed insights. It enhances our low-intervention approach while helping us to protect our natural assets, increase biodiversity and save water and energy.
-
Of course, first we had to come up with a name. To keep peace in the families, we took our wives’ initials (we each have one wife) — that is how we explained to Marie, Anette and Nicky that we were going to be “busy” most weekends. “It’s for you!” we told them. And mostly it’s true.

Making wine, much like creating visual art, is an emotional journey. In the same way that a unique cultural background and a singular series of personal experiences shape the work of an artist, it also has an impact on the wines an oenologist produces.
