Since the early 1990’s, Johan has been a pioneer in biodynamics and is now globally recognised for his sustainable approach to viticulture and winemaking.
Situated in the Polkadraai Hills just outside of Stellenbosch, Tom and Johan discuss the challenges of certification, the definition and benefits of regenerative farming, how Reyneke Wines is taking action to address the sustainability of their packaging, the importance of social sustainability, and the need for greater collaboration between different wine regions. They conclude by looking ahead to 2030 and Johan shares his thoughts on the challenges for the South African wine industry and where he hopes the industry will be.
