Keep her in the fridge

“Some days I am more wolf than woman, and I am still learning how to stop apologising for my wild”, read the line from a poem that Jolandie Fouché’s husband texted to her one day – the quote that inspired the name. Jolandie grew up around these Swartland vineyards, spending her school holidays working them to earn pocket money. After spreading her wings and making wine in other regions, she’s returned to make wines that are a true expression of herself – both the woman and the wild, and we think that’s pretty poetic.

It’s made from 2 different vineyards, each more than 30-years old (in wine terms, old vines are a good thing!) and both dry farmed. ‘Dry farmed’ means no irrigation, which is better for the environment – especially in drought-prone places like the Swartland.
