Facing challenges with safety on the family farm, Glen Peter, Dirk and his father, Dirk-senior, made the bold decision to sell and seek new opportunities. Despite exploring various countries, it was the allure of the ‘land down under’ that resonated with them, marking the first move in 300 years for the Bester family.<\/p>\n Roots of the Love<\/strong><\/p>\n Dirk’s mother, of German heritage, grew up in the Stellenbosch Winelands of South Africa, where the Heins family continues to cultivate grapes on vineyard De Clapmuts. Stellenbosch became the backdrop for Dirk’s burgeoning love affair with wine and where his path intersected with Nika’s right after his studies.<\/span><\/p>\n From Grain to Grape<\/strong><\/p>\n Convincing his father to invest in a picturesque winery nestled in the hills of Everton Upper in the Beechworth Wine Region, Dirk, along with Nika, made the leap in August 2019. Taking over the vineyard in September 2019, they wasted no time, with Nika’s passion for business and their shared ambition driving them to swiftly open the doors to Glenbosch Wine Estate.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″
