L’Huguenot gets Minister’s Approval

Above is a photograph of me with Gerrit van Rensburg, Western Cape Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, celebrating the recent deal between Leopard’s Leap and Yangzhou Perfect of China to create a joint venture to export nearly 2.9 million bottles of wine, under the L’Huguenot brand, to China by 2012. Minister Van Rensburg said “The Western Cape is world renown for its quality wine. It is a pleasure to share our superb South African wines with the Chinese people. We hope trade in wine will also grow into other agricultural produce.”
