A drink with… Marc Kent, winemakerMarc Kent trained to be a winemaker at Elsenburg Agricultural College in South Africa’s Western Cape. He graduated in 1994, the dawn of the post-apartheid era, and joined Boekenhoutskloof in Franschhoek. Driving its transformation from neglected farm to Cape superstar, he is now managing partner and technical director at the winery. Since 2017 he has also been making wine in Portugal with Rita Marques of Conceito. They launched Companhia de Vinhos Invencível in Casais do Douro in 2020.
