JD Roussouw

Winemaker
Wildeberg Wines
JD, Wildeberg's winemaker, was destined to make wine. While pregnant, his mother helped with pressings and punch-downs at their family winery in Paarl, thereby enriching JD's formative senses with the smells and sounds of harvest.

JD is short for 'Jan du Plessis' and he is constantly excited by the people, the diversity and the ever changing environment of the global wine industry. He is most happy sat around a traditional South African braai with honest, down to earth people, a great wine and freshly prepared braaibroodtjies.
