On the 24th of September every year, South Africans have the opportunity to reflect on and celebrate our rich and diverse heritage. It’s an opportunity to look back and see how far we’ve come, but also to give some serious thought to where it is we’re heading as a nation and the legacy we’re leaving for future generations.
We recently gathered a panel of local and international thought leaders to unpack the complex concept of South African wine heritage for the latest edition of our Vinimark Webinar series.
Chaired by wine journalist and creator of HanDrinksSolo, Jono Le Feuvre, the panel included Greg Sherwood, international wine journalist and Master of Wine; Siobhan Thompson, CEO of Wines of South Africa (WOSA); Evan Alexander, Vinimark Head of International Sales; Rosa Kruger, Old Vine Project founder, and world-renowned viticulturist; Jason Wilson, United States-based journalist and author of Godforsaken Grapes; and Michael Fridjhon, historian, writer, wine judge and entrepreneur.
