South Africa's Young Winemakers: the Class of 2002
I-w inereview : w ine m aker report July 2012 SOUTH AFRICA'S YOUNG WINEMAKERS: THE CLASS OF 2002 Nelson Mandela brought a peaceful revolution to South Africa that opened the country to the rest of the world and, among other things, brought change and growth to its wine industry. Growth in wine exports and new programs introduced by the Cape Winemakers Guild and others created a unique window of opportunity for young winemakers, including those of color. One result of these changes is South Africa’s youthful winemaking corps. After spending a day visiting wineries in the Cape a few months ago, we had the pleasure of dining with Ntsiki Biyela of Stellekaya Winery. Our conversation with Ntsiki and, later, with her Stellenbosch University classmate Alex Starey, winemaker at Keermont Vineyards, led us to more systematically explore the career paths of their colleagues in the Class of 2002. Hence, we decided, with Alex’s help, to see what his cohort of 2002 Stellenbosch University graduates are doing today. We found most of them, and give the details below. We also included a few other mostly young winemakers whom we met and tasted with on our recent travels in the Western Cape and who are about the same age, some of them graduates of the Elsenburg Agricultural School, others graduates of foreign wine schools, and still others self- educated. The resulting picture is as diverse as South Africa itself. The class of 2002 includes some of the country’s first black winemakers, a large number of women, and sons and daughters of wine farmers as well as those who had no previous knowledge of wine, and even a couple of Swiss retirees pursuing second careers. -
