These barrels are found in the cellar at De Oude Drostdy Manor which is the home to Drostdy-Hof Wines, in Tulbagh. "Drostdy" is Dutch for "Magistrate's Court"
It was established in 1804 and officially opened towards the end of 1806. In 1822 the seat of the landdrost moved to Worcester and the Drostdy passed into private ownership.
De Oude Drostdy has since had to withstand the ravages of winds, torrential rains and a devastating fire. In 1969, just two days after being declared a national monument it was damaged almonst beyond repair by an earthquake. However, it was rescued by some magnificent restoration work and is now a museum of cultural history.
