Normally a winemaker in my position should have retired long time ago…
I know, but life happens, world markets have changed, AI have taken over personalities, adds, and gatekeepers like M3 have become the standard Wineries relay on to sif through the mass cause who have time to figure out who is legit and who’s not.
What happened to the old fashion braai, open some library wines, to die for desert wines and don’t forget the brandy, and share wine passions, legend stories?
So, after 28 vintages, ability is not the question, its sustainability with the ability to evolved parallel to the consumer market, our new bosses.
Here is my offer. What can I do for you?
With 16 years in California, I was lucky enough to understand the US market, and the ability to help shape the DTC markets in order to bypass the 3 tier system. I’m not a fan of a gatekeeper, if you can tell! Same loophole exists for South Africa selling wine in the US, DTC, no export tax no import tax, no Trump tariffs, in fact, you will be Trump's next best friend.
NB - my apologies in advance for spelling mistakes, no AI involved, but I'm sure the category is correct.
