To facilitate trade, Van Riebeeck established a wine farm known as Bosheuvel, which quickly became one of the finest farms of its time. Wine farms in Bishopscourt are now an essential part of its identity in the present day. After being leased since 1848, Bosheuvel was eventually purchased in 1851 by the first bishop of Cape Town, Robert Gray, who renamed it "Bishopscourt" after the official residences of the Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town.
