Gerhard Perold from Perold Wine Cellar

Gerhard Perold is our wine connoisseur with his roots firmly planted in the South African wine community and culture. Gerhard has a passion for wine, sustainable agriculture, people and food. Very much like his great grandfather, Abraham Izak Perold, who brought 177 grape varietals to South Africa early in the 1900s. Abraham Izak Perold was also the man who created the Pinotage varietal by crossing a Cinsaut and Pinot Noir. Why not read a bit more about this fascinating history that inspired Gerhard to dedicate his life to supporting South African wine and its people.

Gerhard’s passion for wine and South Africa is contagious. So if you are interested in either, do get in touch with him. He is amazing at providing you with a wine tasting experience you will always remember. You can get in touch with Gerhard here.

Gerhard owns Perold Wine Cellar and runs The Mendip Pantry with his lovely family in Chewton Mendip in the UK.
