Meet the winemaker is a short but informative interview of winemakers from
around the world. Many of whom I have the privilege of knowing.
Daniel Benton
“Once exposed (in the world of fine wine), I fell in love with the connection of vineyard to finished product.”
Mitch Cosentino
Cosentino has a gift for identifying fruit sources and is highly skilled and artistic in determining blends.
Matt Reid
Growing up… “Wine was always on the dinner table and I was allowed tiny, watered-down tastes until I was about 7.”
Bruce Regalia
“The reason I started making wine was that a client I was planting a vineyard for fired his winemaker and talked me into doing it.”
Dave Hughes
Dave served an apprenticeship as a distiller at African Distillers in 1956 and filled several positions before moving to South Africa in 1986.
Sune and Bartho Eksteen
“No other country in the world has such a vast spectrum of terroir as SA. We can compete internationally from top to bottom.”
Jill and Naji Boutros
“So many things at the time pointed in the direction of a move… I think it’s fair to say that we just read the signs and acted accordingly. “
Youmna and Tony Asseily
Never in their wildest dreams did they think that “retirement” would translate into owning Biac itself.
