Winter Whites, Done Right.

Brilliance in a bottle. Sunshine in your glass.

Yes, winter whites. Because not all great things in June are mulled or red.

Our Stellenbosch 2025 White Edition is a collection of wines that whisper of spring while holding their own in a grey-skied Cape Town winter. Zippy Sauvignon Blancs, luxurious Chardonnays, textured Chenins — these wines are bright, bold, and infinitely pairable with roaring fires, rich food, and oversized socks.

They’re for those who refuse to be boxed in by colour — who know that a great white wine can be just as comforting, soul-stirring, and complex as any red. In fact, we think these six might just be the ultimate winter companions.
