I grew up in the winelands, where my passion for winemaking began at a young age. I had a strong sense that one day I would be a part of the agricultural industry. After graduating from high school, I took the opportunity to broaden my experience by traveling to Spain and France, where I gained viticultural experience. I then pursued formal studies in winemaking at Elsenburg, while continuing to gain practical experience through local and international harvests. My professional journey took me to Blank Bottle, where I gained experience in a local setting. I joined Brookdale Estate in 2024, and I’m eager to contribute towards it’s next chapter of continued growth and success.
