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.

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.

Lubanzi is included in the LCBOs August 'Good Partners' Feature, highlighting the winery's commitment to driving meaningful social & environmental change.

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.

Cantina Bolzano, South Tyrol's largest cooperative winery, represents a union of over 224 growers from 350 hectares of Bolzano's finest vineyards. Formed in 2001 by merging the historical Gries Winery (1908) and St. Magdalena Winery (1930), Cantina Bolzano combines traditional expertise with a youthful, visionary approach. Grapes are sourced across a variety of distinctive vineyard locations, ranging from 240 to 800 meters above sea level, utilizing both alluvial valley floors and sandy hillside soils. Their rigorous selection process and green cultivation methods yield high-quality grapes, resulting in a wide range of wines across their Classic, Election, and Riserva lines.

Pinot Grigio is one of Italy’s most prominent and notable white wines. In the subalpine climate of Alto Adige, the grapes develop slowly, achieving a perfect balance of ripe fruit while retaining the elevated acidity that defines this style.

Crisp, clean, and highly approachable, this wine opens with lively notes of citrus and orchard fruit, underscored by delicate hints of honey and toasted nuts. Fresh and palate-cleansing, it remains beautifully balanced by a full-flavoured palate with a mellow texture and generous depth.
