He was involved with the first South African plantings of varieties like Mourvèdre, Tannat and Petite Sirah, the rediscovery of old vine Grenache and Carignan - currently used in Fairview's range as well as the evolution of the "red blend" - seeing trends shift from Cabernet and Merlot-lead blends to warm climate Shiraz-based Rhone style blends. He is a passionate outdoors person, which makes winemaking the perfect fit for him. He enjoys surfing and is a keen cyclist, spending most weekends on a bike in the mountains around Paarl.
