The Walker Bay Estate was founded in 2003 with the planting of our first vines. Since then the estate has grown into a fully functioning vineyard and winery, with its own state-of-the-art winery. ​

​

The vineyards are situated just outside the heritage village of Stanford. They extend from the Klein River towards the cold Atlantic Ocean. This special landscape results in a unique mix of different soil types on the farm including decomposed granite, shale and outcrops of limestone. The cool breezes intensify the flavours by allowing for a long ripening period.

 

Anneke's mentor and South Africa's wine legend, Theo Brinkman, visits our farm regularly and is always excited about the quality of wines we can make on this small estate. We are forever grateful for his guidance and input.

MEET OUR WINEMAKER

Our viticulturist and award-winning wine maker, Anneke Steenkamp, is passionate not only about the quality of the wines, but also the terroir. Her hands-on approach to wine farming means that she can directly influence the flavour, aroma and quality of all our wines. 

​

She has the freedom on the farm to oversee the whole process from farm to bottle and takes great pride in working day and night to produce the very best wine; even if it means harvesting at 3am to reduce not only the time the grapes spend in cold storage but also man handling time.

My role is simply to bring together the best efforts of terroir and man to produce wines that give immense pleasure and joy
