Lavender
De Meye was one of the first wine farms in South Africa to produce lavender essential oil. Isabella Lavender Oil is named after Philip Myburgh's mother, who lives on the farm.
The Lavender grown at De Meye is Lavandula Intermedia, also called Provence Lavender. It is produced organically and the utmost care is taken to ensure the highest quality of natural lavender oil.
The Isabella oil is made and sold in small quantities on the farm and available from a few select outlets in the Stellenbosch and Boland area.
