Mariëtte Stofberg-Coetzee is the winemaker and co-owner of Le Belle Rebelle, a brand producing wine made of grapes from her family's estate, Stofberg Family Vineyards, Breedekloof.
Being inspired by her grandfather, Mariëtte Stofberg-Coetzee went to study BSc Agriculture Viticulture and Oenology at Stellenbosch University. She loves to travel the world, and she was privileged to work at various cellars in South Africa, California, and France. Her dream of returning to the family farm and producing boutique wines with her father became a reality in 2012 when Stofberg Family Vineyards was established. She is very passionate about wine, the wine industry, and the people with whom she shared this journey.
Mariëtte completed the challenging Cape Wine Academy Diploma wine course in 2024 as part of her quest to learn all she can about wine.
