After many years of incredibly hard work as an advocate Alan has eventually hung up his robes in order to dedicate all of his time to the Estate. It has taken 30 years of relentless work for Alan to realise his dream of producing some of the best wines in South Africa. Alan is also an avid motorcyclist who recently, together with his son Daniel, took his BMW 1200 GS motorcycle and drove it all the way up into Africa from Cape Town to the Kenyan border.
