Our Story

A Chenin Blanc & a Conversation That Never Ended

We first locked eyes across a crowded wine tasting in Franschhoek, both reaching for the same glass of Chenin Blanc. What started as a laugh became a conversation that never ended. Three years of sunrise hikes up Lion's Head, lazy Sundays at Babylonstoren markets, and one magical proposal under the oaks at sunset.
