Pascal Asin brings over 25 years of experience in the global wine and spirits industry to his role as CEO of Klein Constantia. Prior to joining the estate, he served as Managing Director for Moët Hennessy in Africa and the Middle East, where he was instrumental in expanding the presence of luxury brands like Hennessy and Moët & Chandon across emerging markets.

At Klein Constantia, Pascal leads with a vision that balances the estate’s rich heritage with modern innovation. Under his guidance, the estate has secured its place among the top 50 of the World’s Best Vineyards for four consecutive years, reflecting a commitment to excellence, sustainability, and authentic visitor experiences.

Matthew grew up in Johannesburg, but a keen interest in winemaking saw him relocate to the Cape to pursue an education in this field. After graduating from Stellenbosch University with a Bachelor of Science (Agriculture) Degree in Viticulture and Oenology, Matthew gained vital experience by working at various local and international estates, from Meerlust Estate in Stellenbosch to Chateau Belefont-Belcier in St Emilion, Elderton Estate in the Barossa Valley and Dancing Hares Estate in the Napa Valley.

Upon returning to South Africa in 2008, he took on the role of assistant winemaker at Klein Constantia under the guidance of Adam Mason. In 2012 he stepped up and took the reins as winemaker – becoming only the third winemaker since the farm was revived in the 1980s. Already voted as one of The Drinks Business’s Top 30 winemakers under 40 to watch, Matthew has also been named Tim Atkin’s Young winemaker of the year for 2016.
