SA Wine Trailblazer: Thys Louw
Thys Louw has just spent a frosty Cape morning in the vineyards. “The guys are doing the winter pruning, it’s important for me to be there. I like to be involved in every aspect of the business.” Now in this book-lined study the sixth generation winemaker reflects on his family’s legacy. “There aren’t that many family owned, generational estates left,” he muses. The number he guesses is around 15.
Diemersdal Wine Estate though, Diemersdal isn’t going anywhere anytime time soon.
In fact this Durbanville sauvignon blanc powerhouse is going from strength to strength.
