Johan Joubert, Head Winemaker at Klein Zalze, has over the years developed a style of winemaking that emphasises gentle fruit extraction, creating clean varietal characteristics. This style he feels best shows off the complexity of flavours present in his more premium wines. In 2008 Johan Joubert was delighted to be awarded the ‘Winemaker’s Choice White Winemaker of the Year’ trophy, as well as leading the team that won two double-Gold and two Gold medals at the Veritas Awards, South Africa’s premium wine competition.
