Paul Barth
Paul Barth grew up in Germany’s Rheingau region near Frankfurt - an area well known for its outstanding Riesling wines. His dad was a craftsman who operated his own business, which Paul decided to take over in 1985. With plenty of enthusiasm he gained new customers and put together a team of experienced workers. His business gradually expanded. Still operating successfully, the family business is now in its third generation. Paul’s daughter Sandra joined the team a couple of years ago.
Meanwhile Paul used his spare time to fulfill his dream of owning a winery in South Africa. Why South Africa? He loves it’s people, it’s diverse natural beauty and it’s wines. Through the purchase of Kap Vino Estate Paul’s dream has finally come true. "Kunjani is pure craftsmanship: the perfect wine to complement a Braai with your mates".
