François Malherbe
Raised on the family-owned winery Eikehof, led Francois Malherbe to his professional career in the wine industry. He studied viniculture and oenology at the Elsenburg Agriculture College and in 1986 he received his diploma. He then worked for ten years as a winemaker at another winery until he returned to Eikehof as winemaker and since then produces wine in the fourth generation.
