Henry Kotzé

Henry, who took over the running of our cellar mid-2020, is a highly awarded winemaker who grew up in Stellenbosch, studied winemaking at Stellenbosch University and has worked in the region all his life. Widely recognised as a gifted winemaker and a consummate blender. He is closely conversant with the very varied range of sites in Stellenbosch, their defining profiles and their individual nuances. He understands in rich detail the potential of the land here and knows intimately how best to coax varietal expression from specific sites. That is valuable not only at Mulderbosch itself but also in working with Stellenbosch suppliers to us. Some of these growers are well-known to him and he values their ability to express his stylistic vision.
