25-year-old Jamie Fredericks, Nederburg’s newly appointed assistant white wine maker, loves a challenge. “That’s what first intrigued me about winemaking. Every day is different, and wine is ever-changing. Looking for new ways or innovations is what I strive for.”
Specialising in red, and with a slew of awards under their belt, Alto wine estate in Stellenbosch has been creating its range of red wines since 1922.
“Every vintage of the Alto Rouge reflects what took place during harvest in the Helderberg in a particular year,” says winemaker Bertho van der Westhuizen.
