Winemaker, Brad Paton - "If I don't believe in the wine, I don't put it in the bottle."

"If I don't believe in the wine, I don't put it in the bottle." Says Brad Paton, winemaker at Buitenverwachting wine Estate. Since making wine at this beautiful wine estate in the Constantia valley in Cape Town, Brad started a new portfolio for the wine farm. It is a limited vintage series of wines that is exclusive to the property and can only be purchased on site. He describes this series of small volume wines as being site specific and more personal. He feels that these wines almost goes "against the grain" He doesn't like to follow trends "I sometimes like to be more controversial. I try and do something different" says Brad.

Hear more about how Brad decides on the name for these wines and why he believes that wine is part of life and should be enjoyed this way.

Brad expresses his wished for the future and his shoutout goes to a boutique restaurant in Noordhoek called "The food barn"
