B VINTNERS, South Africa
Their mission was to craft exceptional wines showcasing their heritage and unique terroir, thereby signalling a new future for South African wine. As Gavin explains: “We’re storytellers – always eager to honour our Cape heritage and and its historically linked varieties. However, there are learnings to be taken from the past, too, and it is important to incorporate these lessons today in order to produce finer wine for tomorrow’s wine drinkers.” The result is a range that carefully balances both ends of the winemaking spectrum. By honouring the heritage of the Cape while incorporating innovative, minimal-intervention winemaking techniques, B Vintners lets the vineyard tell the tale, blending past and present to bring you a taste of the future.
Viticulture
This is not just your standard partnership. Instead of owning their own vineyards, the B’s (Bruwer & Bruwer) source grapes from different locations best suited to each variety, opting to create working relationships with similar minded people in the industry who believe in their avant-garde winemaking approach.
- An award winning range or terroir-driven blends linking heritage with innovation and a taste of the future.
- Cousins Bruwer and Gavin ‘Bruwer’ known as the B’s focus on crafting wines which honestly express the location of the fruit, whilst honouring the Cape heritage.
- Minimal intervention, with an organic approach respects both the grapes and their unique terroir, resulting in wines with complexity and texture.
