Meinert Wines is a boutique premium wine producer located in the picturesque Devon Valley within the Stellenbosch Region of the Western Cape of South Africa.

Devon Crest Farm was purchased in 1987 by Martin Meinert. The property was known at the time only as Remainder of Farm 78, District of Stellenbosch, and had been planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinotage in 1975.

The logo of an eagle with a writing quill in one claw and tastevin in the other is entirely fictitious. This logo and other symbols, as well as labels and even wine names have been creatively borrowed from the Meinert family’s short but rich printing history in Namibia. The family had used the German Master Guild of Printers’ eagle as a symbol for the sports teams of their printing company. Circling birds of prey are also a feature of the Devon Crest vineyard, and they set about simplifying and adapting the rather fierce martial style eagle to suit their vinous ends.
