Coetsenburg

Coetsenburg is an historic wine estate and one of the oldest estates in South Africa, established in 1682, and located at the foot of the Stellenbosch Mountain, which forms part of the estate, in the town of Stellenbosch, 31 miles (50 km) east of Cape Town, in the Cape Winelands of the Western Cape Province.

The name of the estate, Coetsenburg, is an amalgamation of the Dutch words “Coetsee s’n Burg”, a colloquial form of “Coetsee en zijn Burg”. Coetsee is the surname of the estate’s founder, Dirk Coetsee, a one-time captain of the Stellenbosch schutterij (civic guard or infantry) and heemraad (alderman) of Stellenbosch. In Dutch and German, “burg” means “fortress, castle, citadel, stronghold or acropolis” (the first permanent European settlers in the area were primarily Dutch-speaking). Thus “Coetsenburg” means “Coetsee and his Fortress”. The incorrect form "Coetsenberg" refers to the Stellenbosch Mountain which is situated partly on Coetsenburg Estate. The surname Coetsee is of French Huguenot origin, originally spelt Couché. Since surnames were only recorded for taxation purposes and many officials of the Dutch East India Company were illiterate, the surname was regularly misspelled in registries and other official records and thus there are a number of variations of the surname in South Africa, e.g. Coetzee, Coetse, Coussé.Coetsenburg is often incorrectly spelt Coetzenburg.
