Spier
Jaco joined one of Spier’s subsidiaries as General Manager, in 1999, and is currently Operations Director for our wines business. Raised in Stellenbosch, Jaco appreciates the simple things. Structure at his desk and in his favourite vino. Good biltong. Kicking a ball around with his children. Shooting the breeze with friends. Not flying (in big birds in the sky) and immersing himself in cooking — with a glass of Creative Block 2 close to the chopping block — make him happy.

Spier is one of the oldest wine farms in South Africa, with a recorded history dating back to 1692. Spier's winery has won multiple awards in recent years, including Producer of the Year (Mundus Vini, Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show 2011). We also performed exceptionally at the 2011 International Wine and Spirits Competition (five Best in Class Gold medals and two trophies), and were the top performing SA winery at Concours Mondial de Bruxelles for three consecutive years. The Spier cellar has ISO 22000 certification, is Fair Trade accredited, organically certified and follows the Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) criteria.
