Johan Reyneke
Owner
Johan has been farming organically and biodynamically since the year 2000 and is seen as a pioneer for the South African wine industry in this regard. He started his career as a farm laborer with a post grad in environmental ethics. His love for the land combined with the insights he gained from his studies and these compelled him to switch from conventional to organic agriculture. The obvious next step was to continue this process in the wine cellar and today he is happily exporting fine organic wine to 43 different countries.
