We all enjoy the big four—Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah/Shiraz—but there is so much more out there. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of indigenous grape varieties.
Join us for an adventure through your glass! We’ll start with the Negroamaro from Puglia, Italy then move on to Cinsault from Western Cape, South Africa and finish our journey with a Catarratto from Italy. No passport necessary!

Ferro 13 Hipster x 1
"I am a mix of traditions and cultures. My style easily blends t-shirts, sneakers and a hat with my perfect moustache. I can be open and mysterious at the same time, my bouquet is complex, recalling red fruit and berries and notes of pepper and spices." -Ferro 13 Hipster

Percheron Old Vine Cinsault x 1
Crushed for flavour not colour, this 40 year old unirrigated bush vine wine sucks only from the rocks underground. Bright, expressive and gently savoury on the nose. Along with its blushing hue, the palate rewards with fresh pomegranate flavour and acidity, savoury gamey notes, and a bright, beating heart of cherry ripe fruit. Slightly chilled with pink duck, pink lamb or carpaccio of beef, this is a beautifully defined expression of South Africa’s most achingly fashionable varietal.
