BEHIND THE WINES

Going back to where it all started

There are about 60 appellations within the Wine of Origin (WO) system, which was implemented in 1973 with a hierarchy of designated production regions, districts and wards. WO wines must only contain grapes from the specific area of origin. "Single vineyard" wines must come from a defined area of less than 5 hectares. An "Estate Wine" can come from adjacent farms if they are farmed together and wine is produced on site.

If you have been to South Africa, then you would have experienced he vast number of wine farms lying side by side in the Western Cape. The sad part is that a very small percentage of these wines will ever find their way to Europe. Our mission is to expose some of the smaller wine farms who have focus on quality not quantity, and focus on biodiversity. This results in really well priced wines being available to you.
