Anmar van Niekerk, winemaker at Gabriëlskloof, completed her studies in Viticulture and Oenology at Stellenbosch University in 2019.
She started her journey at Gabriëlskloof in 2020 as a harvest intern and was soon promoted to assistant winemaker. In 2023, she was once again promoted to the position of winemaker.
She and her husband Albert, also a winemaker, started their own wine brand, Van Niekerk Vintners, together. Van Niekerk Vintners offers small-batch, heritage wines produced in the heart of the Overberg. Their range currently consists of three wines: Goue Rif Chardonnay 2023; Sonwater 2022, a blend of Chenin Blanc and Clairette Blanche; and Rebellie Grenache Noir 2022.
In 2024, Anmar made WineLand Media's 30 Under 30 list of 30 young professionals recognised for their contributions to the South African wine industry.
