Other Notes

Renowned wine maker Newald Marais expresses his artistry in the subtle, playful layers of each wine.

A graduate of viticulture and pomology from Elsenburg Agricultural College and Weinbouschule Weinsberg, Newald has years of experience and an utter dedication to wine.

During a long tenure with then South Africa's largest wine producer, Stellenbosch Farmer's Winery, Newald served in the enviable position of head wine maker at Nederburg, a South African icon.

After the merger of Distillers and SFW, Newald became head winemaker and consultant to the affiliated wineries. In 2002 he moved back to the region of his birth, the beautiful Breede River Valley in order to plough his knowledge back into the local wine industry.
