The Rangaka Family are the founders of the M'hudi brand and the main characters in the M'hudi Boutique Wines adventure. Having left their successful professional careers they settled down to learning new and specialised skills of viticulture and wine making to establish the now blossoming M'hudi Brand.
K. Malmsey Rangaka - CEO
Malmsey is the matriarch and live-force of M'hudi. She has headed the Rangaka family for over thirty years. She encouraged the family to look beyond the familiar in our quest for an alternative life style and galvanized all of us into accepting that life can be much more exciting if you take risks.
