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.

A refreshing and fruity red that has notes of raspberries, violets and strawberries on the nose, as well as citrus peel. It’s medium-bodied and fresh with crunchy tannins. Sustainable. Drink now.
