Rugby legend and latter-day wine pioneer - two labels that Jan 'Boland' Coetzee has earned due to his time as Springbok rugby player and to the meaningful footprint that he has been leaving in the South African landscape. Coetzee is the owner and wine maker of Vriesenhof wine estate in the Paradyskloof valley of Stellenbosch.
SAWi AMBASSADOR's CLUB Good wine is not necessarily expensive, nor old. It's deep, complex and stays with you long after you've tasted it. You may be saying, "but there are so many. How do I choose?" The general tasting rules of swirl, sniff and sip are a start, but there's more to learn when determining if a wine is worthy of your taste buds and cash.
