Chateau Lestevenie’s Jaco & Petrie Terblanche
It’s every wine lover's dream to open their own vineyard in France, that’s exactly what this week's guests on In The Spotlight did. Jaco and Petrie Terblanche thought about what they wanted to do for the rest of their lives and went for it. Listen in as Liezl talks to Jaco and Petrie about their latest venture.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Petrie and Jaco are both originally from South Africa and studied at Stellenbosch University, situated in the heart of the Western Cape winelands of South Africa. But the pair never actually met each other until 20 years later while Petrie was living in San Francisco and Jaco in London, pursuing professional careers in accounting and embryology.
- Jaco and Petrie needed an expert on the ground at Chateau Lestevenie. Recalling how they valued such an opportunity to develop their professional careers abroad after studying, they looked to recruit a fellow South African, who could also bring the knowledge and experience of working in the South African wine industry. Through a friend of a friend of a friend they were put in touch with vineyard manager and wine maker, Ramon Stoltz.
- Chateau Lestevenie produces award winning wines which Jaco and Petrie are very proud of, and Liezel is a fan of.
- Jaco and Petrie still live in Paris but are planning to move to and live at the property next year and this will allow them to work on the business more, such as international markets in the UK and US.
BEST MOMENTS
‘When your artistic and playful side are in balance, you’re able to create a perfectly balanced wine’
‘The story goes with the wine’
‘We’d have never said we’d be living in France and owning a vineyard’
