Tembela Wines was founded by Banele Vakele, one of South Africa’s most inspiring new-generation winemakers. His story began in Khayelitsha, a township outside Cape Town, where a childhood daydream gazing out at vineyards during school sparked his passion for wine.

After earning a scholarship to a top school in Constantia, Banele’s curiosity eventually led him to study winemaking and work alongside some of South Africa’s finest, including Duncan Savage at Savage Wines in Salt River, where he continues to craft his wines.

Anne Pichon and her late husband, Marc Pichon, embarked on an agrarian-bohemian life in the 1990s when they settled in an abandoned farmhouse at the base of Mont Ventoux. They began reviving the defunct domaine called Murmurium, meaning “the buzzing song of bees.” Although the 15-hectare vineyard was in poor condition, it had been organically managed for many years prior to Anne and Marc’s stewardship. Today, Anne, along with her sister-in-law Véronique managing the commercial affairs, produces no more than 40 barrels of wine for T. Edward. The wines, named “Sauvage,” reflect the Pichons’ reverence for nature.

Anne Pichon’s vineyard benefits from a dry micro-climate with cool, manually tilled soils that retain moisture after rainfall.

Baked cod, chickpea-tomato stew, seafood, light salads, soft cheeses.

Hazy, ginger-rosé hue; flavors of crushed red berries, sea salt, subtle smoky minerality; vibrant, light-bodied, refreshing.

Alexander and Maria Koppitsch began making wine in Burgenland in 2011. They took over their parents 5.5-hectare winery and moved from selling their grapes into making their own wine. The vineyards are in the Neusiedl am See, a small village situated at the shores of the Neusidl Lake and on the eastern end of the Leitha Mountains which feature soft, rolling hills of mostly limestone soil. Like his father and grandfather before him, Alex does not believe in introducing any additives into the grapes or the wine. They use Rudolf Steiner’s biodynamic principles to cultivate their grapes, and pride themselves on performing every aspect of the vineyard management and the winemaking by hand, on a very small scale. - Jenny & Francois

Craig & Carla Hawkins are the proud owners of TESTALONGA, a venture that took root in 2008 with the inception of their inaugural wine, a Skin Macerated Chenin Blanc. Operating from rented 11 hectares of organically cultivated vineyards nestled within the granite soils of the Paardeberg, along with an additional 4 hectares situated on the Sandstone soils of the Piketberg, TESTALONGA remains deeply rooted in its commitment to natural winemaking practices. In 2015, the acquisition of Bandits Kloof farm in the slate-rich northern mountains of the Swartland marked a significant milestone. Here, the couple embarked on a new journey, focusing on cultivating Mediterranean grape varieties, with the first vineyards planted in 2018.

"We were frustrated by the high prices of interesting wines—the ones we wanted to drink but couldn’t afford on our modest incomes. So, we decided to create wines with minimal intervention and maximum care—wines you could enjoy with a bowl of spaghetti on a Wednesday night without breaking the bank. Thus, the Konpira Maru mission was born: make mid-week wines great again. Our aim is to produce wines full of character, focusing on affordability and high drinkability. Wines that are so reasonably priced that you don’t feel the need to discuss them throughout the meal—you can simply enjoy the company you're with and maybe even open another bottle!”— Konpira Maru Wine Company
