The Beginning of the End of the Beginning
Long time fans of the JH Meyer Carbonic Pinot Noir will perhaps notice that the label now bears the words “Mother Rock” – where “JH Meyer Wines” used to sit.
The more intuitive Stompie fan will no doubt have deduced that the reason for this change is because the brand of “JH Meyer Wines” is being phased out to make more room for the alread-internationally-recognised Mother Rock brand to take over. Up until 2023, Mother Rock had been kept as a separate entity from JH Meyer Wines, due to the fact that MR was a joint venture between Meyer and Indigo Wines owner, Ben Henshaw.
In 2023, however, Meyer became the sole owner of the Mother Rock brand and began the process of bringing all his wines under the Mother Rock umbrella.
And while that may sound simple enough, one can already sense further complications will arise as Johan begins producing wines from his Piket-Bo-Berg estate of Platteklip Vineyards. I have left a link to the Platteklip Vineyards below.
