Theuns did the wine tasting with us, and shared that he and his family had moved to the farm from Pretoria thirteen years ago, without any winemaking education or experience. He used the best wine makers and viticulturists in the Robertson Wine Valley, including from Graham Beck, and Arendsig winemaker Lourens van der Westhuizen made his wines originally.

Olive oils are classified as delicate, medium, and intense, and the yields differ. At Marbrin they use Italian olive cultivars, the olive oils being blends of Frantoio, Coratino, and Mission. No additives or preservatives are added. They have nine cultivars, four for olive oils, and another five for table olives. We were told that olives start off green, and become black when they ripen.

Newald is proud of his Cabernet Sauvignon (1ha), saying that it differs from the Swartland and Stellenbosch styles.
