Catherine Marshall has evolved to become a premium artisanal producer of fine wines. Her winemaking philosophy is to create wines from vineyards that produce fruit of great purity, and which express the geographical nuances and character of each site to which she then applies minimal and thoughtful intervention in the cellar, so that each wine reflects the very essence of its origins. Catherine Marshall Wines is nestled firmly in the world-renowned Elgin Valley, which is surrounded by majestic mountains, yet only 30 minutes away from the ocean, creating the perfect conditions for a great harvest. Catherine Marshall graduated from Elsenburg in 1991. Apprenticeships at Blaauwklippen, Delaire and Vergelegen were interspersed with international experiences in France (Burgundy and Saint-Émilion), USA (Sonoma County and Oregon) and Australia. Resident winemaking positions followed at Meinert/Ken Forrester Winery, Amani and Ridgeback Wines before embarking on a solo career when she established and ran Catherine Marshall Wines.
