		<description><![CDATA[Multiple award-winning winemaker Charles Williams is the current Cellar Master at De Toren Private Cellar, a key position that he has held since 2019. But his history with the renowned Stellenbosch estate goes back much further than that. Williams first joined the De Toren team 11 years earlier, back in 2008, when he was fresh out of college. He had completed a BSc Agri degree in Viticulture and Oenology at the University of Stellenbosch, followed by postgraduate studies in Viticulture. “I particularly loved viticulture and found that it came very naturally to me,” he explains. This is no small wonder, considering that he grew up in the small farming community of Kakamas in the Northern Cape, in a close-knit family of five. “Growing up, I always loved the outdoors, spending most of my weekends and student holidays on our family farm,” says Williams. This background in farming and love for the land is one of the reasons Williams accepted a role at De Toren. The promising young student had caught the eye of De Toren’s head winemaker at the time, Albie Koch (who is now Managing Partner of the estate), who had approached Williams to join the team as Assistant [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have ever wondered who the creator is behind the Carrol Boyes wine collection, Hendrik Snyman can be found passionately creating and developing the range for the wine industry and its wine lovers. Carrol Boyes Wines is the joint venture of Carrol Boyes, whose iconic style graces the labels of these wines, and her brother John Boyes with his business partner Neels Barnardt, both of Stellenbosch-based Barnardt Boyes Wines. Resident winemaker is Hendrik Snyman, a widely acclaimed winemaker whose awards lay testimony to his dedication and expertise. With a number of industry accolades under his belt, Snyman worked internationally in top wine-making destinations, including Europe, the US and New Zealand. He joined Barnardt Boyes in 2013 and has since led production of Carrol Boyes’ wine portfolio, winning Best MCC at the 2015 Michelangelo Wine Awards for the Carrol Boyes Limited Edition Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2011 Méthode Cap Classique. Snyman’s award-winning career was preceded by his training in viticulture and oenology at the Elsenburg Agricultural Training Institute in the Western Cape.
