Sakkie Mouton Family Wines is a small independent wine company started in 2019 in the small West Coast town of Vredendal.
Our main focus is to highlight the importance of the West Coast wine region in South Africa and to showcase the amazing terroir that this forgotten land holds barred.
Minimal intervention winemaking is used to try and capture each vineyard as pure and honestly as possible, with the main focus being the vineyard and farming practices.
ABOUT
SAKKIE
I grew up on a wine farm 4 kilometres from the small West Coast town of Vredendal. After finishing school here I went on to study viticulture and Oenology at the Elsenburg Agricultural college outside Stellenbosch.
After my studies I went travelling for 5 years to do harvests in different countries all around the world to try and figure out where I saw myself in the world of wine, just to realize that I needed to go home and start my own brand to try and help the West Coast find its true identity.
No more Co-Op grapes and no more cheap winemaking methods, for me it’s all about the vineyards and the unique sites around the area, and I am more than willing to dive in headfirst to find the the root of what makes the West Coat ‘’Lekker’’
