Upon completing culinary studies in East London during a gap year, Tremayne discovered his passion for wine and met his future wife. This led him to pursue winemaking at Elsenburg College near Stellenbosch. Despite a long-distance relationship, Michelle eventually joined him in Riebeek Kasteel eight years later, where they got married. Today, Tremayne is a family man and the proud Dad of Isla and Evan.

THE WINEMAKER

The wines are as unique as their creatively designed labels – featuring tattooed emblems, skulls, and graffiti fonts.

These visually striking and bold artworks contrast with the elegant, vibrant, low-alcohol wines that are juicy, expressive, and inviting.

Growing up, Tremayne was drawn to Punk culture, skateboarding, art, and the intriguing world of tattoos. His creativity was fuelled by Tim Burton's work and animation, showing how seemingly frightening visuals could be misunderstood, drawing parallels to Tim’s characters, often perceived as dark and moody, can actually possess a unique beauty and softness.

The wines aim to be enjoyable, approachable, and aim to captivate the palate and satisfy the soul. Each bottle tells a story, not only through its taste but also through its visual presentation. Tremayne believes that wine should be an experience, engaging multiple senses and evoking emotions.

His approach to winemaking mirrors his culinary philosophy: both are art forms that require passion, precision, and an understanding of how flavours interact and resonate. Through his innovative approach and unwavering dedication, Tremayne has carved out a niche in the winemaking world, captivating enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.

His journey from culinary school to winemaker is a testament to the power of following one's passion and the endless possibilities that arise when creativity meets craftsmanship.
