Tania Kleintjes

Organic Winemaker
Spier Wine Farm
Tania Kleintjes joined Spier in 2007 and has been Spier’s organic winemaker since 2016.

 In this role, she oversees Spier's organic winemaking process – from harvest, production to bottling – as well as managing accreditation and compliance.

“I want my wines to be an authentic and fulsome expression of terroir,” she says. “This means having a light touch in the cellar – I don’t believe in obsessively polishing or tinkering.”
