Roots
Born in Namaqualand, raised with care.
Our home is Namaqualand on the West Coast of the Western Cape — almost 300km from Cape Town. Here, African sunshine, cool Atlantic breezes, and rich soils create the perfect setting for our vineyards to thrive.
This beautiful landscape inspires us to keep things simple: wine without fuss. We believe wine should be enjoyed, not complicated. That’s why we craft wines that are approachable, versatile, and perfect for sharing.
From Vineyard
to Table
At Namaqua, we’re proud to be the only South African winery to own the full value chain of our wines.
From nurturing the vines in Namaqualand to harvesting, crafting, bottling, distributing and merchandising - every step is in our hands. This means we can guarantee the quality, consistency, and character that have made Namaqua one of South Africa’s most loved wine brands.
Because when you choose Namaqua, you’re not just choosing a wine — you’re choosing a story that’s been carefully crafted from the ground up, with passion and care at every stage.
Meet Our Winemakers
The people behind the pour.
Our winemakers live and breathe the vines, pouring their passion into every glass. They share our belief that wine should be approachable, enjoyable, and part of everyday life.
We spoke to them about their love for South African wines, their vision for the industry, and what makes each Namaqua blend special.
