SA Cellar Worker 2009 - Jonas Cupido, Van Loveren Family Vineyards, Robertson
South African Cellar Worker of the Year in 2009, Jonas Cupido, says the programme has definitely opened doors for him on his career path at Van Loveren Family Vineyards in Robertson.
I went from being a cellar worker to assistant winemaker, and had the opportunity to visit, study and work overseas, he says.
Don't keep knowledge to yourself; empower others by sharing, he adds.
The industry body for research and technology transfer, Winetech, presents annual study groups for cellar workers in the South African wine industry for free. The top performers in these study groups are identified and as part of the SA Cellar Worker Programme undergo further evaluation.
The SA Cellar Worker of the Year and two runners up are announced at a Cellar Worker Information Day - a gala event and further information transfer platform for cellar workers.
The top three winners each year form part of the Circle of Excellence, a programme for further knowledge sharing, mentoring and support.
Winetech presents the study groups, the VinPro Foundation makes the SA Cellar Worker Programme possible, and Nedbank sponsors the Cellar Worker Information Day.
Van Loveren vineyards corporate video - meet the family
The Van Loveren vineyards have been in our family since 1937 when Hennie Retief Sr. bought some land in the Robertson area. Previously the property was part of a larger farm known as Goudmyn, the Afrikaans term meaning Gold Mine and a name that reflected the perceptions around the large sum paid for the original farm. This property was later sub-divided and Hennie started farming on Goudmyn portion F. His wife, Jean (her maiden name was Van Zyl), disliked the farm's designation and said it stood, to her mind, for “fools and failures”. As a result she persuaded her husband to rename the farm.
At first they contemplated calling it Roche Rouge, after the impressive red ridge of the Elandsberg Mountain that formed a backdrop to their home. Jean, a traditionalist, however convinced Hennie to name the farm after Christina van Loveren – an ancestor whose bridal chest was passed down for generations and remains on the farm to this day. Christina was married to the first Van Zyl to arrive in South Africa in 1692.
Hennie Sr. made his first wine - a red muscadel - in 1939. More vineyards were planted; more wine was made; and, a new cellar was built in 1963 as his sons, Nico and Wynand, grew older. Back then the wine was all sold in bulk and it was only in 1980 that the first bottled Van Loveren wine - 500 cases of Premium Grand Cru - was launched.
From the mid 1990’s Nico and Wynand’s four sons joined the farm one after the other as they completed their studies. Today our four cousins are the driving force behind the company. Hennie and Neil are viticulturists, Bussell is the winemaker and Phillip looks after the business side of things.
With the Van Loveren brand entrenched, they introduced the well-priced Four Cousins range of wines in 2000. Released in 1,5l bottles, it hit the market with a bang and is today South Africa’s biggest selling bottled brand.

Things to Do In Robertson // Wine Safari
This was an amazing weekend / vlog where I spent two days in Robertson and I joined a wine tour and I tried 3 different wine farms and do wine tasting. We got to try the best wines of Robertson and Robertson winery. I must say this was the best way to taste wine with wine valley safari. check the links below of the safari as well as the various wine farms within Robertson.
This is a must to add to your Cape Town wine route.
For me as a a 'wine drinking for beginners' I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Thanks again Patrick for the awesome flight.
