Nomoya literally means “With spirit” or “Spirited”, which says a lot about the (young) people behind this ambitious wine project. Talia Engelbrecht, the winemaker, personifies joy, enthusiasm and perfection. She provides a young, innovative and experimental drive to the Nomoya team. Together with the more experienced winemaker and marketer, Michela Sfiligoi and agronomist, Atilio Dalpiaz, they form the perfect team that makes Nomoya arguably one of Swartland's most promising wine estates, embodying one of the many wisdoms that Nelson Mandela has taught to South African people “A winner is a dreamer who never gives up!” Their first years were an immediate hit. The wines are made from monocepages of various South-African and European grape varieties. They are fermented separately in vats made of different materials (concrete, stainless steel and wooden barrels) in order to obtain a different character and style each time.
