We were so honoured to spend some time with her on her last trip to the UK in May and recorded a very fun session with her.
The KWV name is historically synonymous with South African wine and brandy. Often the everyday drinking end of the spectrum. Since its launch in 2006, The Mentors range has established itself as one of the most sought-after premium brands in the South African wine landscape. Built around a philosophy of expressing terroir and pioneering new wines and winemaking techniques. It is a wine that showcases the original philosophy of KWV. Including the rich history and depth of expertise at one of South Africa’s leading wine producers and exporters.
Izele joined KWV’s premium Mentor’s range cellar team in 2009. Her focus was and still is to maintain the high standard of producing leading, multi-regional wines. She only uses the best grapes South Africa has to offer.
