Proudly family owned, the Borthwick vineyard is an established vineyard situated in Gladstone, the heart of the Wairarapa. Producing quality wine for over a decade, Paddy, an experienced wine maker, has gained a reputation for producing consistently great wines. The twenty seven hectares of vines bordering the Ruamahunga River are growing on stony, free draining, alluvial soils, with a micro climate giving warm daily temperatures, cool nights and low rainfall; perfect conditions for producing distinctive, quality wines.

The outstanding 2025 growing season produced a Sauvignon of exceptional concentration and balance. Fragrant aromas of spiced stone fruit, tropical fruit, and subtle dark herbal notes lead into a richly flavoured palate centred on ripe nectarine and bright lemon-lime acidity. Fresh and vibrant, it finishes with impressive length and persistence.

Lubanzi is a socially driven South African wine company founded in 2014, inspired by a backpacking journey along the country’s remote Wild Coast. The brand is named after a wandering dog that accompanied the founders for six days and nearly 100 miles of the trek—an experience that sparked the idea to share South Africa’s culture, landscapes, and wines with a global audience.

Working with respected winemaking partners including Trizanne Barnard and Bruce Jack, Lubanzi produces expressive wines that reflect the country’s diverse terroirs. The company also maintains a strong commitment to social impact, partnering with the Pebbles Project to support health and education initiatives for families living and working on South Africa’s wine farms.

The “Rainboat” illustration on the front label is a sign of the vibrant, energetic wine inside. Sketched by acclaimed Cape Town urban artist Chris Auret—whose work can be seen adorning bridges and buildings throughout the city—the playful artwork perfectly captures the spirit of this unique wine. 

Bursting with aromas of strawberry, pomegranate, pink apple, and candy floss, with subtle hints of dry cider, this zesty wine offers a truly unique flavour experience. The palate layers tart red fruits, lemon drop, and tea leaf alongside a playful sweet-and-sour tension more reminiscent of kombucha than traditional wine. Wildly fermented with zero added sulphur and bottled unfined and unfiltered in the style of méthode ancestrale, it's low in alcohol but high in energy. Distinctive, expressive, and full of personality, this is a bottling that rewards curiosity.

Inspired by the freshness and fragrance of Beaujolais, this expressive Cinsault is crafted from 36-year-old dry-farmed vines grown in the southern Swartland. Once considered a supporting player, Cinsault is enjoying a revival as one of the region’s most exciting varieties, showcasing its ability to deliver elegance, charm, and character.

Bright cherry in colour, the wine offers aromas of raspberry and blueberry, layered with a subtle smoky undertone. The palate reveals notes of red apple, cracked pepper, and earth, framed by soft, powdery tannins and a lively freshness. Approachable yet intriguing, this is an affable companion that unfolds beautifully to reveal its complexity.

Understated and elegant, it's easygoing complexity makes it the perfect companion for sunny afternoons.
