Die Barthos are the heart of the family. Attuned to people, they get along with everyone, attract people and blend in with ease. Weaker moments are strengthened with good relationships.

It is winemaker Bartho's belief that the weaker characteristics of all varieties can be strengthened by the inclusion of others... And so Hermanuspietersfontein's flagship white wine came into being.
