Pieter Kruger
Pieter joined our team in September 2024, after returning from London, where he worked in the fine wine sector as a head buyer and operations manager. His journey has been anything but typical. In 2010, he left South Africa to play rugby in Scotland, where he unexpectedly discovered his passion for wine. This newfound love led him to London, where he ran and managed a handful of independent wine merchants, while at the same time earning his BSc in Viticulture and Oenology from Plumpton College in Sussex, England.
During this time, Pieter gained hands-on experience by completing harvests in England, France, and South Africa, while also running a small négociant operation with a close friend. After years of working abroad, the stars finally aligned, allowing Pieter to return home to Hermanus, where he grew up and went to school.
Pieter’s infectious enthusiasm for wine, paired with his “wine geek” nature and childlike curiosity, makes him a unique character in the industry. His vision is to simplify wine, foster inclusivity, and celebrate the vineyards and people of the Cape South Coast. With a focus on creating exceptional wine and making sure it’s "just lekker," Pieter is excited to help steer Seven Springs into the future.
