Meet Marina

Where are you from?

Brandvlei, Northern Cape.

Is winemaking in your family?

My father was a sheep farmer. We are a family that loves gardening, and that love of plants drove my passion towards viticulture.

What is your favourite wine?

Cape West, Thé Blend, we did the first bottling in June 2022. Then I also enjoy our Namaqua Sweet Red.

What do you look for in wine that you pick for yourself?

I taste wine every day so when it comes to picking my own wine, I am picky. I look at wine in technical terms, I imagine what the vine looked like, and I think about what processes it followed to get into my glass.

What does your role as a Quality Manager entail?

I review and manage critical control points within the winemaking chain, with the aim of improvement and increased process efficiency.

How long have you worked for Namaqua Wines?

I started in December 2003, so this year I will be 19 years.

Tell us about your journey and how you ended up as the Quality Manager?

For the first 11 years at Namaqua, I was outside where I worked on the vines. I enjoy the freedom that comes with working in the open air. Then I went to work in the laboratory. I was always interested in the chemical processes that go into the art of winemaking.

What do you enjoy the most at your job?

I like seeing processes come together by problem-solving and having the end product in mind.

What is your vision for Namaqua Wines?

Due to the diverse climate and soil, the Olifants river region has enormous potential to produce cultivar wines. I want to see in the future that we also get recognised for the expressive Cultivar Range that we produce.

Meet Rudi

Where are you from?

Kalahari Upington Askham

How did you get into the art of winemaking?

My father worked in Agriculture and it was his job to advise farmers on how they can best use their land, keeping key elements like weather patterns and soil quality in mind. In those days even the distance from the farm to a market was considered. In 1980 my father noticed a boom within the South African wine industry and encouraged me to pursue a career in winemaking.

As a winemaking student my life then revolved around “wine, women and song” but with time I matured and once I began to actually make my own product I uncovered a real passion for it.

I studied at Elsenburg from 1996 until 1998.

In all honesty, there have been many proud moments, there was a time when a lady at a recent wine show said “dis nou lekker wyn die” translation, this is a nice wine!

In winemaking, there isn’t a lot of stress, the only stress that I can think of is when you have to leave at the end of the workday and your FILTER is running the nightshift.

What do you love about winemaking?

Wine won’t remember you, people will”. Once a year I get the chance to make a wine, and then for the remainder of that year, I nurture that wine and eventually, it gets bottled. Then the public gets to taste and buy the wine that I created. I pride myself on making a wine experience that someone really enjoys.

What are your dreams and aspirations as a winemaker (goals)?

This is the hardest question but it is actually the easiest to answer, at a certain point in your life you don’t have “wine goals” but rather life goals, you want to move into cellar management, where you manage people, facilities and even start new wine brands.
