Emma grew up on a wine farm in Robertson and always knew it was something she wanted to pursue. She loves being outside, so farm life comes naturally. Apart from being a passionate winemaker, Emma is also an avid horse rider. She holds a BSc in Winemaking from the University of Stellenbosch which really drilled in the facets of winemaking – a complex and beautiful blend of chemistry, geology, oenology and viticulture. She has worked harvests as winery assistant and intern, both in South Africa and overseas, before settling into her position at Le Lude in 2017.
