Our Isibonelo range is a carefully curated collection of wines which is shaped by finding model examples of modern-day Cape classics. They are expertly blended from some of the region's most treasured vineyard sites, and it is the search for the exemplary that inspired the name ‘Isibonelo’. It translates to just that, from one of South Africa’s oldest languages, Zulu. This is a dense, blue fruit-filled, jammy red which is a perfectly assembled blend of Syrah and Malbec. It has a long finish that has lovely hints of warming spice.

For when you want something a little bit special, Isibonelo Cape Reserve Red is a refined blend of 70% Shiraz and 30% Malbec. With its floral notes of violet combined with blackcurrant fruit, it has more than a touch of the exotic. This is a special treat as well as a wonderfully affordable luxury.
