Aside from creating a range of delicious wines that cater for a plethora of palates, we want each of our wines to stand for something we are passionate about. Naturally, this objective led us to linking our various varietals to some of the most meaningful NGO’s, charities and NPO’s that inspire us. Furthermore, we are dedicated to giving back to under privileged-communities by nurturing and training young, up-and-coming wine enthusiasts to take the art of wine drinking into a new era. We are achieving this through our graduate programme, in association with the Gender Equality Principles (GEP) Initiative.
