About Margeaux Goosen:
I am a winemaker situated in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley, Western Cape, South Africa. After completing an Honors in Wine Biotechnology, I was introduced to the fine hand-crafted wines from the H&A valley. Working with a small team, I have been exposed to multiple facets of the wine industry including winemaking, vinegrowing, marketing, sales, exports, labelling, and general cellar management. I am seeking a new challenge to further push my creative and innovative boundaries. I see myself as a person that gets the job done through my immense passion for wine and the development of the industry. In order to so, I have vowed to invest in myself by accepting challenges everyday with an inquisitive mindset, attention to detail and embracing them with a smile.
