Moya Meaker

About Moya Meaker

Tucked away in the elevated paradise of Elgin, South Africa’s coolest wine region, Moya Meaker is a winery steeped in legacy and beauty. Named after Moya Meaker, the 1959 Miss South Africa, this estate goes beyond her fleeting moment of fame to honour her enduring spirit. Moya was a mother, wife, friend, and a vibrant force in her community—a seeker of beauty and joy even in the most trying times. The wines produced here are a tribute to her strength and timeless grace, crafted with care to reflect the stunning terroir of Elgin’s lofty, cool-climate plateau.

Wine

Moya Meaker’s winemaking philosophy is as distinctive as its namesake. The cellar forgoes stainless steel tanks entirely, instead employing conical concrete tanks made from Alpine-sourced sand and pebbles, as well as Stockinger foudres crafted from Austrian and German oak. This meticulous approach ensures that every bottle is imbued with authenticity, elegance, and depth.

The winery specializes in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, two varietals that thrive in Elgin’s cool climate. These wines embody precision, balance, and a true sense of place, honouring both the land and the legacy of Moya Meaker. Shop their wine here.
