Sy s\u00ea dit bied die stimulasie waarna sy streef en hou haar terselfdertyd op haar tone, om nog ho\u00ebr te gaan.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dis juis daardie onverwagte wat haar in die wynbedryf laat beland het. Haar suksesvolle ho\u00ebrskool-tennisloopbaan het haar met \u2019n sportbeurs in die VSA laat beland. Sy het ook pluimbal vir Suid-Afrika gespeel en is in graad 7 as Junior Sportvrou van die Jaar in Suid-Afrika benoem. \u2019n Besering het haar laat terugkeer huis toe en n\u00e1 \u2019n BSc in wingerd-en-wynbou-kunde, het sy in 2009 by KWV begin werk.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy oorlede pa, Chris de Villiers, het wingerd-en-wyn-kunde op Elsenburg studeer. Hy was \u2019n toegewyde wingerdkundige, en ek het dus in \u2019n huis grootgeword waar wingerd en wyn \u2019n groot passie was. As ek nie op die tennisbaan was nie, het ek saam met my pa deur die wingerde gery en elke keer iets nuuts van die natuur geleer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gedurende haar 15 jaar by KWV, het sy haarself bekwaam in verskeie ander aspekte van wynmaak waaronder oeste in ander lande, wynbeoordeling, diplomas en die uitbreiding van die KWV The Mentors-reeks \u2013 die wynkelder se premium wynreeks wat plekspesifieke terroir beklemtoon.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Haar energieke en humoristiese aanslag tot wynmaak haal die vooropgestelde vrese en snobisme oor wyn uit. Jy wil \u2019n glas wyn saam met haar drink, net om te hoor hoe passievol sy daaroor kan gesels en hoe eenvoudig sy terroir, wynmaaktegnieke en haar liefde vir versnitte verduidelik.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sy het al verskeie kere geskiedenis met van die wynbedryf se gesogste oorwinnings en trofees gemaak. Drie hiervan staan vir haar uit: \u201cOns het geskiedenis gemaak toe die The Mentors Orchestra 2018 in 2020 die eerste rooiwyn was om die gesogte Veritas Vertex-trofee vir die beste wyn van die kompetisie te ontvang. Om dit vir \u2019n tweede keer by die 2024 Veritas-geleentheid met die The Mentors Perold 2020 te behaal, was een vir die boeke. Wat my regtig trots maak, is dat verskeie wyne in The Mentors-reeks beoordelaars be\u00efndruk, soos The Mentors Cabernet Franc 2019, wat by die 2022 Decanter World Wine Awards as die beste wyn van die skou aangewys is. Dit was dus een van die top-50-wyne by hierdie kompetisie in Londen waar 18 000 wyne van om die w\u00eareld heen geproe is . En dan moet ek nog een byvoeg \u2013 die jaar toe KWV as die beste kelder by die 2015 Jongwynskou uitgeblink het en die Pietman Hugo-trofee huis toe geneem het. Ons het di\u00e9 dag ook die beste wyn van die skou gewen en daarmee die gesogte Generaal Smuts-trofee ingepalm.\u201d<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-153522 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/rooirose\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wine-1-500x330.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"330\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Op \u2019n persoonlike vlak was haar tennisbesering haar grootste uitdaging. Sy vertel: \u201cMy toekoms was amper vooruitbeplan en my drome groot. Alles het binne \u2019n oogwink verander. Alles waarvoor ek tien jaar lank gewerk het en my droom om \u2019n professionele tennisspeler te word, was aan skerwe. Hoe begin ek oor? het ek gewonder. As ek terugkyk, kan ek nie beskryf hoe dankbaar ek vir my familie en hul ondersteuning was nie. Hulle het my gou laat besef daar wag \u2019n mooi toekoms buiten sport vir my. My ma, Isobel de Villiers, bly my rots en is die sterkste vrou wat ek ken.\u201d\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Izele vertel dat haar biologiese pa, Alex, oorlede is toe sy agt jaar oud was. \u201cDit het \u2019n groot invloed op my lewe gehad. My ma het drie dogters met gelyke geleenthede grootgemaak. Sodra iets groots in jou lewe gebeur, het jy \u2019n besluit om te neem: Staan jy op en pak die w\u00eareld aan, of verkies jy om in \u2019n hoekie te gaan sit? Ek het nog elke keer gekies om op te staan en die lewe as \u2019n voorreg en \u2019n uitdaging te sien.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Die Mentors-reeks is haar oogappel. \u201cOns werk al 15 jaar lank aan hierdie projek wat beteken dat ons nooit stilsit om die kategorie en aansien van premium wyne te groei en sodoende keer op keer topgehaltewyne te produseer nie. Ek kyk terug na waar ons met die handelsmerk begin het, hoe dit saam met die tyd vorm aangeneem het en danksy konstante prestasies voorlopers in hul soort geword het. Dit maak my ontsettend trots.\u201d<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-153518 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/rooirose\/ontmoet-izele-van-blerk-en-narina-cloete-vroue-van-die-wingerdstok\/izele-10\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/rooirose\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Izele-10-scaled-500x365.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/rooirose\/ontmoet-izele-van-blerk-en-narina-cloete-vroue-van-die-wingerdstok\/cellar-6\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"322\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/rooirose\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Cellar-6-scaled-500x322.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\r\n<p>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sy lag as sy vertel dat die snaaksste vraag wat sy al as wynmaker gekry het, is of wynmakers bessies of appelkose by die wyn gooi om di\u00e9 geure te kry. \u201cDie beste manier is om alles stap vir stap te verduidelik en by die wingerd en die chemiese samestelling van die druiwe te begin. Jy moet mense se aandag hou en mooi verduidelik hoe geure ontwikkel en hoe giste \u2019n invloed op aromas kan h\u00ea, sonder dat hulle verle\u00eb voel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En gepraat van verle\u00eb \u2013 dis iets wat Izele nie in haar woordeskat ken nie. Sy deel ruiterlik dat sy flou word as sy bloed sien; haar kos op haar bord mag nie aanmekaar raak nie; en sy weier om pampoen te eet, omdat haar ma vir haar as kind ges\u00ea het pampoen laat jou hare krul en haar hare krul genoeg!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sy s\u00ea wynmakers se rol het die afgelope paar jaar dramaties verander. \u201cOns maak nie net meer wyn nie. Jy is betrokke by alle aspekte van die wyn \u2013 van die wingerd tot die wynmaak \u2013 en jy moet verstaan hoe dit finansieel afspeel terwyl jy mense bestuur en die bemarkings- en verkopek\u00eappie moet dra. Ek geniet laasgenoemde besonder baie, omdat dit die kritieke aspek insluit om dit wat jy maak aan mense te kan verkoop.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sy sien uit na die res van die jaar. \u201cDie Mentors-kelder word deur innovasie en interessante eksperimente gedryf. Elke jaar werk ek met nuwe en unieke kultivars. Ons bring jaarliks \u2019n beperkte uitgawe vir The Mentors uit en glo my, dis iets om na uit te sien. Dan vier ons vanjaar pinotage se 100ste bestaansjaar \u2013 so daar wag baie feesvieringe vir ons \u00e9n elke wynliefhebber!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intussen wil sy nog meer mense van wyn leer. \u201cOns as wynmakers het \u2019n verantwoordelikheid om die jonger generasie te lei en te leer sodat hulle verstaan waaroor die wonderlike produkte gaan wat ons produseer. Ek wil my kennis deel en mense oor Suid-Afrikaanse wyne opgewonde maak, want ten spyte van pryse en trofees, besef die w\u00eareld steeds nie die omvang van die gehalte van ons wyne nie.\u201d\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Narina Cloete<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<p>\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-153521 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/rooirose\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/OZ1A3120-457x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"457\" height=\"600\" \/><b><\/b><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><b>Narina Cloete<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is die afgelope nege jaar by Blaauwklippen en het n\u00e1 haar honneursgraad in wynkunde (cum laude) in 2008 as assistent-wynmaker by Quoin Rock Winery aangesluit en van 2010 tot 2014 as wynmaker daar gewerk.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sy is op Kroonstad in die Vrystaat gebore en hul gesin het na die Kaapse wynlande verhuis toe sy in graad 3 was.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sy vertel dat sy destyds tussen wynmaak en grafiese ontwerp moes kies. \u201cMy keuse het op wynmaak geval, aangesien ek van my passies kon vermeng: kuns\/kreatief wees, chemie, biologie en die natuur.

Sy het ook goud ontvang by Trophy Wine Show 2024 vir die Blaauwklippen Chardonnay 2023 (die Blaauwklippen Chardonnay 2023 is die tweede oesjaar chardonnay wat deur Blaauwklippen geproduseer is n\u00e1 \u2019n gaping in produksie van ongeveer 30 jaar vanaf 1993).<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maar vir haar is die veranderinge wat sy die afgelope nege jaar op die plaas teweeg gebring het, haar persoonlike hoogtepunt.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sy erken: \u201cWynmaak bly \u2019n harde en uitdagende, maar baie interessante werk. Geen dag is ooit dieselfde nie. Elke wynmaker het \u2019n styl en persoonlikheid wat hy of sy tot die wyn bydra. Dit is deel van die kuns agter die wynmaakproses.
