Vine Orders

With 45 years of experience in the nursery and grape industry, Andrew Teubes and Koos van der Merwe formed African Nurseries.  We offer an innovative approach to the challenges of the wine-, table- and raisin grape industries. Located on Heuwelfontein farm in the Sandveld, halfway between Hopefield and Velddrif, our nursery enjoys a strategic isolation far from other grape-growing areas. This geographical advantage reduces the risk of the spread of vectors of harmful viruses significantly. Additionally, the presence of nematodes is entirely excluded due to our underground water source from the West Coast Aquifer. Our fine sandy soil is uniquely suited for fostering the development of large and branched root systems—an aspect that sets us apart from other nurseries and is our pride and joy. Our nursery encompasses ample land, enabling us to cultivate the same field only once every four years.  In the long term, soil health is ensured by this rotational system. We are proud to provide plant material of all the leading breeding programmes to our table grape clients. We also offer an extensive range of wine and raisin grape varieties. Our product range includes normal dormant vines, one-year-old dormant potted vines, cartonnage, and Uber vines (Langbeenstokke). Moreover, African Nurseries is the sole nursery in South Africa that supplies tissue culture date palms.

The vine nursery nestles against the slopes of Groenberg, Wellington, in the Western Cape, where healthy vines flourish thanks to the clean mountain water from the Kromme River. The young plants are tended with expertise and precision to ensure the highest quality vines. Bosman Adama was born when Petrus Bosman senior sold his surplus vines for the first time in 1947. High-quality plant material was rare in those days, and it was his lifelong dream that every vine sold on his farm would have a respected pedigree. Today Bosman Adama is the largest vine nursery in Africa, with a broad spectrum of Vitis cultivars for the production of superior quality table, wine and raising grapes. The Bosman family has been practising the art of grafting vines and growing quality grapes since 1888, originally for use on their own wine farm.

Duikerfontein Nursery started small in 2003, grafting only 450 000 vines. The nursery has grown since then and now produces more than 3 million+ vines. The growth is due to the quality of our vines, beautiful rootstocks, and well-calibrated end loads. We are isolated on the other side of Piketberg, located in the Sandveld, with few pests and plagues. The soils are well washed out with a rotation of between 5 to 6 years. Duikerfontein Nursery is a family farm and does all table, dry, and wine grapes. With our good soil and water, we also provide our own rootstocks. Growing vines is Duikerfontein Nursery's passion and love. Our service is our pride and we stand firm behind our product. We deliver our services to farmers nationwide.
