Etienne Buys [ Viticulturist & Partner ]
In 1998, Etienne joined his brother Dana in the Vrede en Lust partnership and headed the development of the farm and cellar. He is currently the full time viticulturalist. Etienne traveled extensively in France and Australia building his knowledge of modern techniques in the wine industry.
Prior to joining Vrede en Lust, Etienne served in the government service and gained extensive managerial and corporate experience for over more than a decade. Not only is he theoretically knowledgeable, but follows a hands on philosophy in which you will most likely find him in the vineyards. Etienne and his wife Tracey with their 2 children live on the farm.
"I think it is a great error to consider a heavy tax on wines as a tax on luxury. On the contrary, it is a tax on the health of our citizens."
- Thomas Jefferson
