Established in 2020, Great Heart Wines is a winery 100% owned and run by the employees of both the Mullineux and Leeu Passant wineries who directly profit from the wine sales and see the shareholders involved in all the stages of the viticulture and winemaking. Great Heart winemaker Gynore Hendricks, a graduate of the Cape Winemaker’s Guild Protege Program, works in the winery with vineyards hailing from the Swartland, Stellenbosch and Elgin, resulting in wines that have a beautiful natural intensity, complexity, and a true sense of place.
Great Heart’s ethos of empowerment is evident in its unique label design by South African fine artist Jaco Sieberhagen. The African Wagtail is known in South African folklore for its acts of selflessness and bravery in assisting others.
This Cabernet is from a single vineyard planted in the deep, loam rich soils on the lower slopes of the Helderberg Mountain.
