Home on the Paarl

When Razvan Macici first stepped foot in South Africa in 1994, he was swept up not just by the beauty of Cape Town, but also the national euphoria over the end of apartheid and formation of a democratic government. The fledging winemaker had come to gain harvest experience in the sun-baked fields, and would return to Romania after four months, brimming with good memories. Macici ended up relocating to South Africa to make wines, first for Zonnebloem and then for Nederburg, being tapped as its cellar master in 2001.
