Does expensive wine actually taste better? 🍷
Episode 02 of 60 Seconds with Rüdger.
For me, price can tell you something about how and where a wine was made,but it cannot guarantee how much you’ll enjoy it.
What’s the most you’ve ever spent on a bottle, and was it worth it?

Most people are probably drinking their red wine too warm. 🍷

Episode 01 of 60 Seconds with Rüdger.

Do you chill your reds?

Liora, colour and a bottle that refuses to blend in.

Her name means “my light” - bright, expressive and impossible to overlook. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown in Cape Town, Liora is dry and vibrant, with bright acidity, expressive fruit and the unmistakable character of the variety.

Fermented entirely in barrel, with 15% new oak, this is a Sauvignon Blanc with personality, perfume and presence. Much like the best-dressed aunt in every family: often misunderstood, deeply loved and always remembered.

13.5% ABV | Dry-farmed | Sustainably farmed

Wine and dine, or wine and unwind - New Dawn was made for both.

These are wines that can hold their own at the finest table, but never need an occasion to be opened. Pair them with a beautifully plated dinner, a relaxed meal at home, music, friends or whatever is left in the fridge.

Good wine should fit the moment - not define it.

Mid-July calls for a little mood, a little drama and a good bottle of wine.

New Dawn is rooted in bold ideas, characterful Cape vineyards and wines made to express where they come from. From the old-vine OG Chenin Blanc to the unconventional Dark Leap Red Blend, every bottle tells a story of evolution, freedom and taking the leap.

A New Dawn for every mood🍷

Good wine doesn’t need a special occasion - just something delicious on the table!!

Here, our New Dawn OG Chenin Blanc is paired with fresh Red Roman sashimi, citrus and capers. Bright, fresh and full of flavour, it’s the kind of pairing that reminds us that wine can work just as beautifully with an everyday meal as it does with something a little more special.

Open a bottle, plate up your favourite dish and make the pairing your own.

Happy Father’s Day from New Dawn Wines.

This brand has always been built with family at the heart of it. As a dad, my boys are one of my biggest inspirations - they are a big part of why I do what I do.

Every bottle, every long day, every step forward is about creating a good life for them, doing something I truly love, and showing them that hard work does pay off.

To all the fathers out there, we see you, we honour you, and we hope you have a beautiful Father’s Day with the people who matter most.

We didn't start the price war… but we're not mad about it. 😏🍷

New Dawn Red 2024 is causing a stir in the UK — and honestly? Good. Great South African wine should be in every glass, not just the expensive ones.

The week’s only just started💪
New week, same New Dawn energy.

No need to overthink it - this is your reminder that if you haven’t tried New Dawn yet, it definitely deserves a spot on your radar this week or weekend.

New Dawn White is crisp, bright and not trying too hard. Delicious, bursting with flavour, and the kind of bottle that knows exactly where it belongs.

In the fridge.
On the table.
At the right moment.

The cold has arrived in the Cape.

The kind of weather that calls for slower evenings, a crackling fire, good conversation, and a bottle worth opening.

Meet Dark Leap🍷

A bold blend of Syrah, Carignan, Grenache and Cinsaut, sourced from remarkable vineyards across the Western Cape. Dark fruit, savoury spice, fresh acidity and enough energy to keep evolving with every glass.

But Dark Leap is more than just a wine.

It’s about taking chances. Trusting your instinct. Stepping into the unknown and embracing what comes next. That’s the spirit behind New Dawn - wines built on momentum, freedom of expression, and a fresh perspective on South African wine.

Winter has arrived. Pour accordingly.
