Back Story & Wine Information

The dream had been lingering in the minds on the Brink family for many decades and the talents had always been obvious; in 1918 old Grandpa Brink had been asked by Groot Constantia to become their winemaker, but the time was not yet right. Their strong desire to do their own wine-making was eventually put into action with Ernst (Grandpa Brink’s son) sending his two sons to study more concerning this expertise.
