Our great love for South Africa and wine resulted in a home with a vineyard, ideally located below the Franschhoek mountains.
From the start, the vision was to create something truly exceptional.
The result is MY LIEFSTE.
MY, our initials, Maya & Yves.
Our unique terroir, combined with passionate attention to detail in the vineyards yields fruit that is crafted into wines which are the summum of elegance, finesse and complexity.
Our vineyards are maintained weekly by Pietie Le Roux and his team. Our winemaker Donovan Ackermann is young & dynamic, the leading man at wine estate MyLiefste.
The vineyards are situated high on the steep south-west facing slopes of the Franschhoek mountains, encouraging a cool climate with granite soils.
