Wednesday Wine Women: Marlize Beyers from @brucejackwines
Marlize is a South African winemaker who lives in Ontario. She splits her time between making wines for @brucejackwines and @thedriftestate in South Africa, consulting in California, Chile and Spain with her wine consulting company, Resolute Wine Works, which she operates with Bruce Jack, and living in Ontario!
After training at Stellenbosch University and Elsenburg Agricultural College, Marlize has been making wine around the world since 2002, when she started working with Bruce at Flagstone. Flagstone pioneered natural winemaking, producing the first unfined, unfiltered Pinot Noir with no added sulphur back in 1999. She has made organically certified wines in both cool, wet climates like Ontario and hot, dry climates like Catalonia, and in 2013 she was named Ontario Winemaker of the Year.
Marlize’s global experience of making wine has given her an expert insight into many different climates and viticultural challenges. I was thrilled to be able to pick her brain and taste some of her wines with her! Meet Marlize on my #WednesdayWineWomen Insta Live here.
