At Painted Wolf Wines, we celebrate and help conserve the endangered African wild dog, our most charismatic predator. Wild dogs and cyclists have much in common: individual prowess, teamwork, energy, camaraderie and a never-give-up attitude. Jeremy is an enthusiastic cyclist and has used this passion as an additional way to raise funds for conservation. He has organised rides through some of the remaining pockets of wilderness inhabited by wild dogs as well as sponsoring major cycling events like the Tour de Tuli, which benefits the Children in the Wilderness charity.
Tasting Notes
An exciting white Cape blend with layeredf lavours of stone fruit, minerality and citrus complemented with gentle oak. The wine is beautifully balanced, with a full rich mouthfeel and a bright long finish.
Food Suggestions
The wine has bright exotic flavours and goes with seafood, pork and chicken dishes, especially those with a South East Asian feel. It is also lovely with southern French cooking.
The Vineyard
Grapes sourced from a number of vineyards in Paarl, Stellenbosch and in the Swartland.
Winemaking
The grapes were handpicked and whole-bunch pressed and barrel fermented. Both wild and commercial yeast strains are used. Southern French/ Rhone white blends serve as inspiration for this wine.
Ageing Potential
This wine is drinking well now, however will continue to improve over the coming few years.
If you're reading this, you're one of our favourite kind of people: the kind that take time out of their public holiday to scout for deals.
To clarify, we love it when people shop on work days too, but that's different. You're obliged to look at your screen for 8 hours on those days, of course you're going to visit your favourite sites between emails.
But today you could have done anything.
And yet instead of going skydiving or wine tasting or off-road canoeing, you're here. Thanks for that.
