Wim Truter sluit eersdaags by Meerlust-wynlandgoed aan as hoofwynmaker\/bestuurder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy word die derde wynmaker op hierdie beroemde Stellenbosch-landgoed wat in 1693 gestig is en sedert 1756 deur die Myburgh-familie besit word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sedert die vrystelling van die eerste wyne in 1975 het Meerlust nog net twee wynmakers gehad: Giorgio Dalla Cia (tot 2004) en Chris Williams vanaf 2004.Truter sal amptelik op 1 Mei 2020 pos by Meerlust inneem. Die 2020-oesjaar sal hanteer word deur die wynmaker Altus Treurnicht, met Williams en Truter wat bystand sal verleen indien nodig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Truter het \u2019n BScAgric-graad in chemie, wyn- en wingerdkunde aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch verwerf, waarna hy die internasionale MSc Vintage-kwalifikasie in wingerd-, wyn- en terroirbestuur behaal het wat studietermyne aan die Ecole Superieur d\u2019Agriculture, Angers, Frankryk, die Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Piacenza, Itali\u00eb en die Universitat Politecnica de Valencia in Valencia, Spanje ingesluit het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy mees onlangse posisie was di\u00e9 van hoofwynmaker by die KWV, en Truter het ook by verskeie wynkelders in Europa, Australi\u00eb en Amerika gewerk insluitend Jordan Vineyard & Winery in Sonoma en Tintara Hardy\u2019s in McLaren Vale, Australi\u00eb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hannes Myburgh, eienaar van Meerlust, s\u00ea dat Truter se reputasie en werkservaring \u2019n bate vir die besigheid sal wees op verskeie fronte. \u201cSy akademiese uitnemendheid word aangevul deur uitgebreide werkservaring \u2013 plaaslik en internasionaal,\u201d s\u00ea Myburgh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea verder: \u201cWim se voor die hand liggende kennis in die veld van wingerdkunde en wynmaak word aangevul deur deeglike ervaring in personeelbestuur en logistiek, en die nouliks betrokke operasionele benadering wat nodig is om die daaglikse bedrywighede van \u2019n kwaliteit gefokusde kelder te bestuur. Ek en die res van die Meerlust-span sien daarna uit om Wim te verwelkom op \u2019n wynplaas waar ons net so groot klem plaas op mense as ons wingerd en wyne.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Truter s\u00ea dat hy daarna uitsien om met \u2019n premium wynhandelsmerk van Meerlust se statuur en nalatenskap te werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMeerlust is \u2019n ultra premium handelsmerk \u2013 in terme van beide wynkwaliteit en die stamboom waarop dit voortbou \u2013 en ek is gretig om \u2019n rol te speel in beide produksie asook die strategie wat benodig word om te verseker dat Meerlust sy posisie aan die toppunt van die Suid-Afrikaanse wynaanbieding volhou en versterk.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
