Marius Malan is an Elsenburg trained viticulturist whose passion is to produce his own wine under the lable ‘Malanot Wines’.
Marius knows that to be successful a producer needs to do more than make wine, and the Wine Masters course helped him understand areas such as marketing and other world wine styles.
Marius enjoys SA Chenin Blanc and Shiraz in particular and for his thesis studied the area which provides much of the fruit for his wines and which is establishing itself as a special terroir; that of Swartland.
Dissertation Topic: Is the Swartland the new South African wine hub?
