Today Jacques’ son Reenen is at the helm, with Jacques still putting his foot down when needed. Reenen has brought a young and fresh perspective to an already ascending estate. His university studies and work in the Rhône have impacted his stance greatly but it is his relationships with the new wave of South African winemakers and the sharing of ideals that has impacted him as much. The Borman’s farming methods are approached as sustainably as possible. All of the grapes are handpicked to secure the quality of the fruit before they enter the cellar. A hands-off approach towards vinification takes place in the cellar, with ambient yeast fermentations being used (with the occasional pied de cuve if kinetics are slow), showcasing the terroir and exposing a sense of place in the wines. Reenen has dialed back the amount of new oak greatly and added alternative fermentation and aging vessels (concrete, terra cotta, etc). The aim is to make timeless wines that tell a story and have a great personality within a quality bracket.
