Johannesburg student receives CWG bursary

Intrigued by the taste and complexity of wine, Wade decided to trade the gold mines for the Cape winelands and enrolled at Elsenburg to pursue his passion and desire to make his own wine.

"My dream is to own an organic wine estate, where I could grow grapes and create high quality premium wines under my own label," says Sander, a third year student.

Once he has graduated, Wade will be interviewed for the Cape Winemakers Guild Protégé Programme, which offers students a three-year internship during which time they will have the opportunity to learn from, and work alongside some of the country's best winemakers who are members of the Guild.

Students interested in applying for the Protégé Programme can visit the Guild's website at www.capewinemakersguild.com.
