Ahrens Family Wines

Albert Ahrens, a dab hand at the pizza oven and like many of the Cape’s new generation an engaging raconteur, was the winemaker at Lammershoek at the birth of the Swartland Revolution, before dipping into a number of joint and solo projects.

He drives as much as 45,000km per year between vineyards, tenaciously and persuasively accessing some of the finest grapes in the Cape, then making the wines in his small cellar at Wildepaardejacht, just south of Paarl.
