My time in the wine industry really started while I was busy with my post-graduate degree at the Institute for Wine Biotechnology. I liked how science could add value to products, solve problems in production and improve the quality of the finished wine product. We are really privileged to work in an industry with so many wonderful people, all passionate about wine and South Africa. When I am not at work, I love spending quality time with my wife and boys. My favourite food is anything from the ‘braai’ and any free time is spent on top of a motorcycle or hiking in nature.
