Painted Wolf Black Tip Mourvèdre 2020

In 2006, Emma and Jeremy Borg decided to create a wine company with two main aims – to raise money to build a more hopeful future for endangered African wild dogs and to allow Jeremy to pursue his ambitions as a winemaker, which he has done with great determination and flair. They like to work with growers who share their passions for conservation and the environment and work with some of the most carefully farmed vineyards in South Africa. All the growers are either organic or practice sustainable viticulture. This enables them to make focused site-specific wines reflecting several of South African top terroirs.

Grapes for this wine are from Kasteelsig vineyard, owned by Billy (Guillermo) Hughes, and are organically certified. Soil is red Glenrose with some Oakleaf – shale-rich duplex soils. The vineyards are not irrigated.

Painted Wolf Wines has grown to become a leading producer of award-winning wines and have three distinctive and memorable ranges: The Den, The Pack and Lycaon Pictus. They have donated over R4m to African wild dog and related conservation projects.
