A winery’s cellar is one of those few special places that can be described as magical, and one that perfectly captures the essence of winemaking. Visiting these cellars can be truly inspirational and has led to the creation of our Magic Cellars series, where we celebrate the skills, art and magic of winemaking. This is a lovely Chenin Blanc, rich and rounded with loads of apricot fruit and a tight lemon-rind finish.

Jacques Theron has been hands on, working in wineries since he graduated from Stellenbosch University in 2003 after receiving a Bachelor's degree in Viticulture and Enology. In 2017 he became the Senior Winemaker at Riebeek Valley Wine Co where his raison d'être is to express the terroir in each glass of wine. He enjoys understanding and harnessing the diversified terroir of the Kasteelberg Mountain and the individuality of each vintage to create singular wines.
"The wine is fermented naturally with indigenous yeast but I control the temperature, nice and cool, to retain freshness. Before bottling we blend in a lovely oaked parcel to give the wine some additional weight and texture." - Jacques Theron, Winemaker.
