2 History of Lanzerac Lanzerac s rich history, dates back to 1692 when Governor Simon van der Stel granted a considerable tract of land in the Jonkershoek Valley to Isaac Schrijver and three freed slaves. The farm received the first of its names, Schoongezicht, where Schrijver set about planting vineyards. Throughout the years the farm had many owners. The most notable is Mrs Elizabeth Katherina English who purchased Schoongezicht in 1914, for the handsome price of , and schanged the name of the farm from Schoongezicht to Lanzerac. Mrs English embarked on extensive renovations which included alterations to the outbuildings as well as to the homestead. It is also believed that Mrs English bottled the first Lanzerac wine from grapes grown on her land, where there were believed to have been 21 imported varietals growing,. The present Lanzerac winemaking team honours her memory through the Mrs English Reserve Chardonnay. After her death in 1929 the farm was purchased by Johannes Tribbelhhorn who became a member of the Cape Quality Wine Growers Association, and by 1936 had established what was then one of the most modern wine cellars in the Cape. The former Stellenbosch Farmers Winery (SFW) purchased the Lanzerac trademark in 1958, taking over the management of the vineyards the same year. The company used the grapes as well as those from other sources to make the World s first commercially produced Pinotage - a 1959 vintage. This visionary release in 1961 marked the birth of Pinotage as a unique variety from South Africa. In 1959, the iconic Lanzerac Rosé, in the famous teardrop bottle was released. The Rose has become the longest-standing wine in the Lanzerac range, and is still produced in the teardrop bottle. Dr Christo Wiese acquired Lanzerac in He set about extensively remodeling the hotel to bring it in line with international 5-star standards, as well as replanting the vineyards and establishing a modern cellar. Dr Wiese sold Lanzerac to a British consortium in Wynand Lategan, who has been overseeing the production of the winemaking since 2005, has remained on as Cellar Master. Their trust in him has allowed him to continue making the wines for which Lanzerac has become famous. Together with his team, who are as passionate about winemaking as he is, the Lanzerac Range of wines has been honed to maintain the excellent quality that Lanzerac is known for.

3 Lanzerac Vineyards Lanzerac is located against the western foothills of Botmaskop in the Jonkershoek Valley. The farm has rich, fertile Tukulu soils that stretch from 100 metres to 480 metres above sea level and contains northerly and westerly facing slopes that are cooled down in the afternoons by breezes from the nearby ocean. Lanzerac has of 46 hectares under vineyards, 60% planted with red wine grapes and the remainder with white grapes. Cabernet sauvignon and pinotage are the main red varieties and chardonnay and sauvignon blanc the main white varieties. The vineyards are irrigated by three dams which get their water from mountain streams and rain. The water is of a high quality. The farm also boasts several fauna and flora species, including porcupine, duiker, guineafowl, baboon, caracal and even an otter. Falcons, eagles and several other bird species regularly circle above the cliffs of Botmaskop and Egyptian geese and African coots have made the dams their home. The vineyards are managed by the manager, supervisor, four tractor drivers and seasonal labourers. Harvesting starts at the end of January with chardonnay for Lancerac s MCC sparkling wine and ends at the end of March with cabernet sauvignon.

4 Wynand Lategan ~ Lanzerac Cellar Master Born and bred in Stellenbosch, entering the wine industry seems the logical and natural life choice for anyone native to this area, but life presented Wynand Lategan, now Cellar Master at Lanzerac, with a few twists and turns before he discovered what should have been an obvious choice for him. Having completed his matric, Wynand set about completing what was then a compulsory two year military service before enrolling for a B.Comm degree at the University of Stellenbosch. Spurred on by his dream of becoming a professional athlete and eventually representing South Africa at the Olympic Games he extended his carefree existence as a student by enrolling in an Honours degree in Journalism which further gave him the opportunity of working as a volunteer at the 1995 Rugby World Cup. When the time came and Wynand had to enter the job arena he started working at Die Burger as a financial journalist a position he would remain in for the next four years. At the age of 30, weighed down by the frustration of spending each day bound to an office desk and a growing interest in wine, Wynand enrolled at Elsenburg and so began the fulfillment of a life-long dream of farming and an opportunity to hone his passion for wine.

5 Having completed his studies in 2002 where he joined the winemaking team at the then newly completed Lourensford Cellar. An opportunity of a harvest at Château Durfort-Viviens and a second growth in Margaux paved the way to Lanzerac where Wynand took over the winemaking responsibilities in 2005, a position he still holds today. Wynand s winemaking philosophy is quite simple. When he makes a wine he is led by balance - balance in fruit, tannins, colour, alcohol, mouth-feel and in the use of wood these are all key elements in the wine sculpting process. Wines should add joy and friendship to life, create memories of an occasion, place or the people you share it with. Besides spending most of his time in the vineyards or cellar doing what he does best, Wynand is an avid outdoor enthusiast whose passions include running, surfing, mountain biking and hunting. He is married to Nelleke and is a doting dad to their two beautiful daughters, Ella and Fila-Marie, whom he believes keeps him grounded.
