Vrede en Lust – Magnificent View of the Mountains of Franschhoek
Vrede en Lust benefits from its breathtaking location in the Franschhoek Valley. Since 1996, the Buys family is running the Vrede en Lust estate, one of the most beautiful and most exciting in South Africa. Meanwhile, it has a firm place within the elite of South African wineries. Besides vineyards in Franschhoek, this estate has its own slopes and a farm in the Cool Climate region Elgin.

Karlin Nel
Karlin Nel was only 26 years old when in autumn 2017, she accepted the position as winemaker at Vrede en Lust and therefore followed the footsteps of her former boss Susan Erasmus. ‘I have always dreamed about making people happy, to see them celebrating, smiling, dancing and enjoying life’, Karlin says. When she discovered the magic of wine, she had found the right means to fulfil this dream – the only thing she had to do was to learn this wonderful trade. She did have the time for that during her time as assistant of Susan Erasmus. Now, it is her being responsible for the wine cellar. Wine is Karlin’s passion – besides patience and determination the most important aspect of wine production.
