AboutVan Niekerk Vintners
Husband-and-wife winemakers Albert and Anmar van Niekerk established Van Niekerk Vintners in the Overberg in 2019. The family has farmed in the region for generations. Albert’s experience includes work with Crystallum and Thorne & Daughters, while Anmar has made wine at Gabriëlskloof.
For their own wines, they select fruit from vineyard blocks across the Western Cape and favour natural fermentation and barrel ageing.
Van Niekerk 2022 Rebellie Bot River
South African Red
Red cherry, cranberry and raspberry lead the nose, joined by subtle orange, fynbos, musk and earth. The palate is poised rather than fragile, with clear fruit expression, fresh acidity and powdery tannins. Made from Grenache, it includes forty percent whole bunches and spends ten months in older oak. Fruit, freshness, fine tannin and savoury detail come together in a precise, well-defined profile.
Van Niekerk 2024 Goue Rif Overberg
South African White
Pure Chardonnay brings sourdough bread, oatmeal and waxed lemon, with a creamy note from full malolactic fermentation. The palate is rich and rounded, with underlying energy and mineral character. Lemon and orange sit alongside freshly baked bread, spice and leesy complexity, while integrated acidity carries the smooth texture into a gently savoury close. The overall profile remains generous, layered and composed.
Van Niekerk 2023 Sonwater
South African White
Flinty reduction opens alongside peach, soft citrus and hay. The palate is taut yet carries real weight, with dense fruit, snappy acidity and a salty-savoury finish. A dry blend of Chenin Blanc and Clairette Blanche, it was naturally fermented, whole-bunch pressed and matured in barrel for ten months. The final profile brings dense fruit, firm freshness and savoury detail together in a distinctive white.
