Meet the Winemakers

Ali Verburg – Luddite Wines

Nestled in Bot River, Luddite Wines is a family-run producer renowned for Chenin Blanc and Syrah. Ali, daughter of founders Niels and Penny Verburg, has made wine around the world—from Sicily to Michigan—and is now shaping Luddite’s future with fresh energy and global expertise.

Bernhard Bredell – Scions of Sinai

A regenerative farmer and seventh-generation winemaker, Bernhard is redefining Helderberg’s terroir. His wines—from old bush vine Chenin Blanc and Cinsault to Pinotage and Syrah—capture the soul of dry-farmed vineyards just 1.5 miles from False Bay.
