Draaiboek Wine

Draaiboek Wine We celebrate rich experiences with passionate people. Our single focus is Chardonnay, and for this nothing but the best will ever be good enough.

Draaiboek Wine is a boutique wine producer in the Western Cape, Stellenbosch. We do not own a vineyard and are not bound by anything other than our commitment to ourselves and our friends to produce great wine. Draaiboek means ‘script’ in Afrikaans. A script is a story come to life, given meaning through the character’s performance and words spoken. In our books, every wine comes bottled with its

very own script. An unedited narrative drafted by years spent in the vineyard, sculpted by changing seasons and nurtured by caring hands. The result is a tale that captivates each drinker on a unique adventure into one’s inner imagination. A fantastical land where life is simple and possibilities are endless. It also stirs memories of past travels, moments shared with friends and good food. It was with exactly this honest intention to express one’s creativity that a group of friends came together to craft Draaiboek Wines. After meeting at Stellenbosch University, everyone eventually headed out to write their own stories. Yet, despite different borders and time zones, they always checked in with every changing chapter of their lives. Now, after many years of friendship, the characters have come together once again to produce Draaiboek Wines. Born out of a love for wine and the stories that it tells, Draaiboek Wines invite you to approach each wine like the blank pages of a book yet unwritten. What story will you tell?

Some wines are bottles.
Others are chapters.

Onskuld. Kripnota. Waagmoed.

Three expressions.
Three moods.
Three moments in the same unfolding story.

At Draaiboek, we believe great wines should be experienced like great books: each label a chapter, each vintage a new edition, each evening a story worth sharing.

Celebrating another year. Another milestone. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’re raising a glass to five-star ratings for both the Kinkel and Onskuld Chardonnay, and to the people who made it possible.

From South Africa to England, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Australia and beyond: thank you to our friends, followers and fellow Chardonnay lovers for walking this journey with us.

Draaiboek has always been a passion project - a pursuit of making one of the very best Chardonnays South Africa can offer, crafted for ourselves, our families, and our friends.

Because of your belief and support, we celebrate another fantastic year… and another step forward.

Here’s to what’s next. 🥂
