Meet the Cape
Wine's oldest new world.
South Africa has been making wine since 1659 — older than California, older than Australia, older than every corner of the New World. What's young is how good it's gotten in the last twenty years.
The Cape is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions on earth. Granite, shale, limestone, sandstone — each cellar's terroir is unlike the one next door. That diversity is what we're importing.

La Luna Red
Varietal · Red BlendRegion · Paarl, South AfricaCertified · Organic, Biodynamic
Avondale's flagship Rhône-style red, bottled only when the moon's phase aligns with the estate's biodynamic calendar. Every decision — harvest, pressing, blending — tracks the lunar cycle. The result is a wine that tastes inseparable from the granite slopes it comes from.

14 Boutique Producers
Hand-selected estates from Stellenbosch to Sondagskloof. Each producer chosen for their commitment to quality, authenticity, and innovation.

Coast to Coast
Distribution network spanning the United States. From New York to California, we make South African wines accessible to every market.
What we stand for
We never compromise.
Every producer we import has earned their place — not paid for it. If a wine isn't ready, we don't bottle it. If a producer can't tell us exactly where their grapes came from, we don't carry them. There are no exceptions.
Sustainable wine is the future.
Organic, biodynamic, Fair Trade, WIETA, IPW — our portfolio is deliberately weighted toward producers farming with a 100-year horizon. The industry is changing. We'd rather lead that change than explain it later.
