South Africa celebrates Heritage Day today, and we caught up with a few of the w**emakers behind the bottles we love to ask one important question: what will they be opening? 🇿🇦🍷

From old-vine Chenin beside the braai to a beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon paired with venison, their answers are a lovely reminder of what makes South African w**e so special — place, personality and a story in every glass.

Which South African w**e will you be opening this Heritage Day? 🇿🇦🇿🇦

No prizes for guessing which w**es we’ll be reaching for this Grenache Day. 🍷

A well travelled variety, Grenache is loved for its versatility — from vibrant reds to elegant rosés, with its signature notes of red cherry, strawberry and a touch of spice.

We’re raising a glass to a few of our favourites from the RAKQ portfolio: Waterford Estate Single Vineyard Grenache 2022, DeMorgenzon DMZ Grenache Noir 2019 and Forager Red 2022.

With Port Day still fresh in our minds, we’re raising a glass to Boplaas Family Vineyards - a true South African icon, whose w**emaking heritage stretches back to 1880. 🇿🇦

With the winter months ahead, it’s the perfect time to discover their rich, warming Port Style W**es - made for lingering over and savouring as the evenings draw in.

And for the w**e trivia buffs: Boplaas’ first estate brandy, released in 1994, was served at Nelson Mandela’s presidential inauguration.

We strongly suggest keeping a bottle on hand to help see off any season-change blues. ✨

Meet the man behind Glen Carlou's enduring craft 💫

For almost a decade, Johnnie Calitz has been at the heart of the estate, bringing more than 20 years of experience in the Simonsberg-Paarl region. His deep understanding of the area has made him a true master of its renowned terroir.

With a particular passion for Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, Johnnie approaches every vine with care and every vintage with ambition. His influence is felt from vineyard to cellar door, and in every bottle.

This is the beauty of w**e — it can take you somewhere. So, let yourself daydream for a moment: picture yourself here, basking in the South African sunshine, fine vintage in hand, with sweeping vineyard views stretching before you. And until you can experience it first-hand, let those tastebuds travel...

Discover Glen Carlou with RAKQ and bring a little taste of the Cape straight to your door. 🍷🇿🇦📦

Here’s to starting September on a sparkling note. 🥂✨

While Cap Classique Day may be celebrated on South African soil today, we’re more than happy to raise a glass from the UK to the exceptional sparkling w**es coming out of the country - and the people, places and stories behind every bottle.

So, wherever you’re raising your glass, here’s to a new month and to celebrating, often. 🍾 🇿🇦
