The David Frost Story
David Frost, played in his 21st (!) British Open at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club, Liverpool, UK in July 2008. And, apart from making the cut and finishing the tournament in horrid weather conditions, it was a very memorable occasion with his son, Sean caddying for him. For most of the remainder of 2008 and up to September 2009, David will be playing mostly in European Tournaments. In September 2009 he will be joining the Senior Ranks – a new era!
David has been playing golf since high school and grew up on a farm in the Cape Winelands. During the summer months he would help with harvest and with the pocket money he earned would buy golf clubs and balls.
So, while winning over 22 tournaments worldwide and recording the PGA Tour’s lowest putting total, David’s passion for wine was never far from his heart. In 1994 he decided to turn his love for wine into a business venture. He purchased a 130ha farm (St Clement) in the Voor Paardeberg wine ward, Paarl and with the assistance of Napa winemaker, Jason Fisher, produced his first 3000 cases in 1997. The rest is history ...
With 24ha planted to classic French red varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon; Merlot; Cabernet Franc; Petit Verdot; Malbec and Shiraz. These vines have been selectively sited on warm, sun-drenched and breezy slopes to produce full-bodied, fruit-driven wines. The David Frost range comprises a 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2002 Merlot, 2003 Par Excellence (Bordeaux blend) and limited release 2003 Million Dollar Blend (blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) – a wine made to commemorate his three time win of the Million Dollar Trophy.
Unlike many athletes or celebrities who lend their name to a brand, David Frost has a true passion and respect for wine and the process of producing world class wines. And although he is out of the country for long periods – he remains a very hands-on and involved wine farmer.
