About the winemaker
After wandering the world for seven years, working in the most iconic wine regions from Burgundy to the Loire, I decided it was time to go home. I discovered the incredible cool-climate vineyards of the South African coast, and there everything fell into place. This is my center of the universe.

Walker bay, South africa
Walker Bay is also known as the ‘refrigerator’ of the Cape. Here, where whales swim off the coast, the icy Atlantic Ocean provides a constant breeze that cools the vineyards. This unique climate is the secret weapon for creating fresh blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Historically, this is one of the youngest quality regions in the country. While elsewhere in the Cape the focus was long on volume, pioneers here in the 1980s specifically chose this cool climate to emulate the elegance of French Bordeaux. Fortunately, a distinct style has since developed thanks to an influx of young, pioneering winemakers. Here, the wines are rawer and more exciting than their famous French counterparts, but at least as gastronomic.
