The four invaluable years at
Anwilka and my international experience gave me the confidence to start
my own brand, and in 2008 I went solo. Since the very first vintage my
focus has always been on two very diverse wine regions, namely Elim and
the Swartland.
I currently live in Kommetjie, a quaint village on the Southern Peninsula, and make my wines just down the road in Noordhoek. Apart from everything wine-related: making, judging on various panels or just straightforward drinking, I also make time to surf whenever I get the opportunity. I feel that the ocean recharges me, and teaches one patience and respect for nature.

property into what we feel has the opportunity to become something
great. We are able to constantly experiment in order to attain our goal
of being one of the world’s leading wine producers and at the same time
make sure we have loads of fun doing it.”
