ageing : This wine will continue to improve with a few years of bottle age from vintage.

Painted Wolf Wines supports the conservation of the highly endangered painted wolf (African wild dog) and the protection of the diminishing wild spaces of Africa, through its donations to the EWT and Tusk.

Wild dogs and cyclists have much in common: individual prowess, teamwork, energy, camaraderie and a never give-up attitude. Jeremy is an enthusiastic cyclist and has used this passion as an additional way to raise funds for conservation. He has organised rides through some of the remaining pockets of wilderness inhabited by wild dogs as well as sponsoring major cycling events like the Tour de Tuli, which benefits the Children in the Wilderness charity
in the vineyard : Pinotage came from a very large block of dry farmed grapes in the Voor Paardeberg and also from Silkbush Farm in the Breedekloof, Shiraz from Walker Bay and Durif from Franschhoek.
in the cellar : The Pinotage and Shiraz were fermented in stainless steel tanks with the latter being whole-bunch fermented, while the Durif was fermented in oak barrels using only natural yeast. Total production 16,500 bottles.
