Bartho Eksteen puts Hermanus(pietersfontein) on the Diner’s Club wine map! Hermanuspietersfontein’s winemaker Bartho Eksteen has been named the 2010 Diners’ Club Winemaker of the Year. Eksteen’s, Die Bartho 2008 blend was awarded a 5-star 2011 Platter rating for the first time, however, it’s the 2009 Hermanuspietersfontein No.5 Sauvignon Blanc that won the Diner’s Club award, the wine produced for the first time exclusively from grapes from their own vineyard. Eksteen was a winemaker at Wildekrans Wines when he won SA Champion Young Wine in 1996.
