Our Story
Staanspoor, meaning “departure point” in Afrikaans, marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey for Pierre Puren and Pieter Vermaak. This wine is the embodiment of their shared
passion, a testament to the belief that when passion is shared, it becomes an unstoppable force.
Pierre, a financial planner, and Pieter, a steel construction owner, forged an unlikely friendship over their mutual love for reading, talking, drinking, and buying wine. Their diverse backgrounds only enriched their bond, proving that passion can bridge any gap. During the COVID-19 pandemic, their shared enthusiasm for wine deepened as they spent more time discussing and exploring wine. This period of isolation became a catalyst for their dream of making wine together.
​
Crafted by winemaker Angus Paul, Staanspoor is a 100% Syrah, with grapes sourced from the renowned Karibib Vineyards in Polkadraai Hills, Stellenbosch. This wine is more than just a beverage; it is a symbol of genuine enthusiasm and contagious passion. Pierre and Pieter’s journey from wine enthusiasts to releasing a wine together is a story of how shared dreams can ignite a similar excitement in others.
Their debut wine, Staanspoor, invites you to join them at the departure point of this remarkable adventure, where every sip is a celebration of friendship and shared dreams. They hope that Staanspoor will bring other unlikely friendships together and create a passion for wine.
