of Joseph Huskisson as winemaker along with a full-time viticulturist and the

ensuing years the winery gained a reputation for the production of outstanding
Chenin Blanc and Pinotage.
Today,
Perdeberg offers a broad range of bottled wines from extreme value everyday
products to small volume, single vineyard handcrafted wines.
