About the winemaker
After graduating from Elsenberg in 2010, Reenen went to work at the family estate in Stellenbosch and he is currently counted among the most talented winemakers in the country. In recent years, his star has been rising, partly due to his amazing syrah wines. Perhaps the knowledge he gained during his internship at Hermitage in the Rhone Valley contributed to this. Reenen's latest project is in Montagu, where he took over a vineyard from Chris Alheit and where he now makes his Patatsblanc and Patatsfontein, two unique white wines.
