Wine Gems – Erika Obermeyer & De Houtvat
| Erika Obermeyer Wines |
 Growing up on her family’s sheep farm near Sutherland in the arid Karoo, Erika Obermyer cultivated a profound connection with nature while exploring the veld alongside her loyal canine companion. Despite initially setting her sights on studying medicine, Erika’s trajectory shifted when she developed a passion for the outdoors, combined with an affinity for Maths and Science. This led her to enroll in a Bachelor of Science degree at Stellenbosch University, where the allure of wine took hold of her. Upon graduating with a BSc and BSc Honours in Wine Biotechnology in 1998, Erika’s journey in winemaking began. She started as an Assistant Winemaker at Kleine Zalze in Stellenbosch in 1999, gaining valuable experience through harvest tenures in renowned wine regions in France. This exposure deepened her appreciation for the balance and elegance of wines from those regions. In 2005, Erika embraced a winemaker position at Graham Beck Wines. Following a brief mentorship under Charles Hopkins, then-Cellar Master at Graham Beck in Franschhoek, she found herself as the sole winemaker in a world-class cellar, living her dream. Fueled by her extensive training and rewarding career, Erika took a leap of faith in 2016, establishing her own label and continuing to make significant contributions to the world of winemaking.
