Trizanne Barnard is an independent winemaker focusing on creating wines from varieties that she considers are best suited to their origin. This focus led her to Elim 11 years ago where, to this day, she creates Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Syrah wines.
Trizanne believes these varieties thrive in the Elim soils and micro-climate, providing beautiful, cool-climate expression of the terrain. Trizanne loves the vastness of Elim, the raw energy of the two ocean masses that meet here at our southernmost tip of Africa, the ancient soils and the wind’s soul blowing life into the vineyards, all of which find expression in her wines.
