Introduce: Wine producer, Dirk Human, is the owner, winemaker and
viticulturist of the Black Oystercatcher boutique wines. The
Human Family has farmed successfully on the Moddervlei farm, where
the Black Oystercatcher winery and restaurant are housed, for
generations. The farm is situated between the small towns of Elim,
Bredasdorp and Agulhas, in the Overberg region in South Africa.

In 1998, Dirk and his family decided to live their dream - by planting
vineyards on the property. Dirk's knowledge of the land with its sand
plains, wetlands, extensive limestone and calcareous dunes enabled him
to select the perfect location for the Black Oystercatcher's vineyards. In
so doing, Dirk became one of the pioneers to establish vineyards in the
maritime ward of Elim.
