Huge loss for Saronsberg. Neetlingshof and Villiera now has the best Shiraz winemaker in SA.

Best wishes to you dewaldt on your new adventure. Sure villiera and neetlingshof will be proud to have your expertise

Absolutely Rainer, and/but there’s gotta be so much more to this story. Rijk’s and Saronsberg lose their top winemakers within six months of each other, gone to bigger jobs but… Something about Tulbagh?!

Baie geluk Dewaldt en baie sukses op jou pad vorentoe!!!!

This is certainly Saronsberg’s loss and Iwayini’s huge gain.
