2025 marks a watershed moment for Painted Wolf Wines – a year of renewal, resilience, and remarkable quality.
With the final grapes of the 2025 harvest tucked safely into the barrel, we find ourselves reflecting on one of the most exciting vintages in our history. After years of working across multiple cellars and navigating the disruptions of the post-COVID landscape, we’ve finally found a home – a fully equipped, state-of-the-art cellar through our new partnership with Jordan.
For the first time in over two decades, our wines are being crafted under one roof with the full support of a dedicated and experienced winemaking team. Together with Jordan’s winemaker, Sjaak Nelson, we’ve embraced a new level of precision and consistency while staying true to the bold, adventurous Painted Wolf style.
The 2025 vintage delivered beautiful fruit, from the first Wellington Pinotage harvested in January to the last high-altitude Breedekloof grapes brought in during March. The quality has been exceptional, and with the calm, dry harvest season on our side, these wines are already showing extraordinary promise.
We remain deeply rooted in our philosophy – sourcing from trusted growers and championing South Africa’s heritage varietals like Chenin Blanc and Pinotage, alongside drought-resistant Mediterranean grapes such as Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Carignan.
This new chapter is more than a logistical shift – it’s a giant leap forward. We can’t wait for you to taste the evolution.
“My winemaking philosophy is a product of the numerous paths I have taken in my life and the very fine wine people with whom I have worked. As a former professional chef and a foodie, I have a great interest in making wines that are balanced and harmonious. This conveniently aligns with many of the attributes of painted wolves -energetic, balanced and persistent.”
