Lammershoek

The winery "Lammershoek Farms & Winery" is located between Paarl and Malmesbury in the Aprilskloof Valley at the foot of the Paardeberg, about 80 kilometers north of Cape Town in the District Swartland (South Africa). It was founded in 1718 by a Dutchman named van Jahrsfeld, but the first vineyards were only established around 1750. The name "Lammershoek" is derived from the legend that in the forest surrounding the farm, mother sheep sought protection from the Black Eagle, also known as the "Lammervanger" (lamb catcher) rock eagle, with their young.

Change of Ownership

In 1995, it was acquired by the Austrian couple Anna and Paul Kretzel. The German family Stephan acquired half of the shares in 1999. In 2010, the Lammershoek winery was taken over by a German consortium that included Andreas Abold, Fedor Radmann, and football legend Franz Beckenbauer (1945-2024). This also led to a comprehensive restructuring. In 2012, the Theunissen family took over the winery. In 2019, it went to Swiss entrepreneur Barbara Gredig and was finally acquired by the Johannes family in 2022. Stefan Johannes serves as CEO and winemaker and initiated a reorganization and modernization.
