Equip the people on your farm, recognise their skills and contributions and they will support you through an uncertain future. @Denzel_Swarts #RootstockSA

[RootstockSA @RootstockSA]

Fear feels the same as excitement. Turn your fear into excitement. @JessicaSaurwein #RootstockSA

[RootstockSA @RootstockSA]

What about market fragmentation? There's a space and niche for everyone. Collaboration becomes increasingly important for the industry says @JessicaSaurwein The landscape is always changing #RootstockSA

[Melissa Bailey @Maloosa]

Learning the meaning and story behind the label makes you appreciate and relate to the wine.
The outside catches you, the inside keeps you! #RootstockSA @RootstockSA #OutsideTheBox

Work is not a problem. I come from a family of hard workers. You need great leadership to succeed in the wine industry. @BereneD @SonoftheSoilWin @JessicaSaurwein @WineLandSA @Vinpro_za #RootstockSA

[RootstockSA @RootstockSA]

Multilingualism has helped @JessicaSaurwein understand culture better, she says, and it reflects in her labels. After all, wine is about expression! #RootstockSA

[RootstockSA @RootstockSA]

How many languages does @JessicaSaurwein speak? #RootstockSA

[Elizabeth Groenewald @lizzie_groen]

Loving the passion and stories from the inspirational speakers at #rootstock

[RootstockSA @RootstockSA]

Tonight's speakers have all endured some hardship before achieving success. What can inspire others to do the same? Leadership values, says @Denzel_Swarts #RootstockSA

[RootstockSA @RootstockSA]

@Denzel_Swarts has found a way to change the industry from the inside. He lets the public buy into his vision by exchanging wine for donations & bringing cellar workers into the tasting room. That's #thinkoutsidethebox #RootstockSA

[RootstockSA @RootstockSA]

Don't compromise quality for quantity, says @BereneD #RootstockSA

[RootstockSA @RootstockSA]

@JessicaSaurwein learnt a lot from her time in sales & marketing, where thinking outside the box is a necessity. The beautiful label and practical closures of her wines reflect this mode of thinking. #RootstockSA

[RootstockSA @RootstockSA]

@Denzel_Swarts started a foundation that takes learners through school and gives them the opportunity of a lifetime. All wine sales of @SonoftheSoilWin goes to the fund. #RootstockSA

[RootstockSA @RootstockSA]

@BereneD put her life story on her wine label. The bottle is closed with 100% beeswax & the colour contributes to the "old village feel" of @TesselaarsdalW #RootstockSA

[Wanda @Wandawyn]

Amen!
