MEET OUR WINEMAKER: BERTUS FOURIE
Bertus, the gentle giant winemaker, has a long history of winemaking and a stellar reputation in the industry. He is a passionate man and loves nothing more than to explore the endless possibilities in winemaking. “The human dimension of the wine industry is definitely one of the aspects that I love. I meet wonderful people, make wonderful friends and enjoy loads of laughs whenever I present a wine tasting or have a wine chat, which is probably 80% of the time. Making wine, selling wine, enjoying wine is all about quality relationships”. Bertus Fourie.
Bertus is assisted by Farm Manager & Cellar assistant Gert Pietersen nicknamed “Toffie”. Toffie has been involved with the Britz family from the tender age of 16 where as a little school boy he would spend time observing and learning everything he possibly could from any of the senior farm men. With his calm temperament, leadership capabilities and keen eye for everything agricultural Toffie soon climbed the ranks and today manages the entire Under Oaks farm.
