Coetzee joins red winemaker Bonny van Niekerk and Zonnebloem viticulturist Annelie Viljoen, thus making it an all-girl team at the winery.

She completed her degree in Viticulture and Oenology at the University of Stellenbosch and joined the winemaking team as assistant winemaker of the white wines under Boshoff in 2005. One of the highlights since joining Zonnebloem was the launch of the acclaimed Zonnebloem Limited Edition range of wines.
