Willem Visagie grew up on a wine farm on the West Coast of South Africa, and after completing his studies in viticulture and oenology, extended his studies to the USA, France, and Germany.
In France specifically, his passion for making artisanal wines on a smaller scale was elevated when he joined the winemaking team at the Premier Grand Cru class at Chateau Angélus near Saint-Émilion, northeast of Bordeaux.
His winemaking philosophy is simple: “I want to make elegant artisanal wines from our salvaged old vines and classic heritage wines from the beautiful fruit of our Daschbosch vineyards.”
