The winner of the 2010 Diners Club Winemaker of The Year Award went to Bartho Eksteen from Hermanuspietersfontein winery near Hermanus.Bartho follows the winning footsteps of winemakers such as Günter Brözel, Sydney Back and Danie de Wet. All winemakers in this category had to submit Sauvignon Blanc wines. Dave Hughes, chairman of the judging panel, spoke of the wine: “No. 5 is a perfectly balanced wine with a 15% Sémillon component that adds a further layer to the combination of wood and fruit. It is a style proving increasingly popular with South African wine lovers.”
