Janeke Beck is a winemaker at Diemersdal Estate, Durbanville. "I love working at Diemersdal for the very simple reason that there is no I in team," she says. "The energy is enthusiastic and innovative. There are times when it is quite a physical work, like harvest season, but nothing us ladies can’t handle. It is nice to see all the more women stepping into the industry. I am still young and new to the business, and enjoy seeing the amount of women involved – be it the actual winemaking, or areas like marketing. It makes me excited for what I can do in the industry if I just set my mind to it."
Janeke was responsible for making Diemersdal's first Cap Classique, Diemersdal Cap Classique Blanc de Blancs 2022.
In 2024, Janeke made WineLand Media's 30 Under 30 list of 30 young professionals recognised for their contributions to the South African wine industry.
