I began experimenting with wine making during my high school career. I developed an intense enthusiasm for wine making and empowered my knowledge and skills by travelling to France and Spain.

The techniques and knowledge of the French wine masters set the stage and motivated me to become a distinguished wine maker. My creativity and enthusiasm grew from strength to strength and today Akkerdal produces award winning wines.
My inner senses and unique style allowed me to create one masterpiece after the other and Akkerdal Merlot, Syrah, Wild Boar and Passion saw the light. Kallie's Dream ( a white blend consisting of Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Chardonnay and Semillon) is a tribute to my late father and role model, Kallie Hanekom, who printed the footsteps in which I follow. Wine making is part of the Hanekom heritage and culture and an essential part of good life.
