A PREMIUM WINE PRESENTED BY AFRICAN WINES FOR A SPECIAL CAUSE

We, Damiano and Belinda D’Alba, have a great passion for wines and South Africa. We combined these passions when founding African Wines and the wineries we work with reflect our love of African nature, people and social purpose. The values of African Wines and the wine producers we represent are about being: ETHICAL - PROGRESSIVE - DISTINCTIVE - PREMIUM - LOYAL - INVOLVED.

To emphasize and strengthen our strong sense of community feel we proudly present our very first

AFRICAN WINES COLLABORATIVE EDITION BY MARELISE NIEMANN

Every season we will work together with one of our wine producers to make a Limited Edition of premium wine under this label. This first edition is made with Marelise Niemann of Momento Wines. She has created a beautiful Chenin Blanc 2019 and Grenache Noir 2019 for you to enjoy now or make these wines part of your collection. Marelise tells her and our story with this pure, terroir driven and honest wines.

WINE MAKER

Marelise is passionate about working with grape varieties that are well suited to the South African climate. That means vineyards that can withstand low rainfall and high temperatures; that fit naturally into the environment and do not require excessive energy input. Moreover, Marelise, like Damiano and Belinda D'Alba, has a great sense of community and wants to contribute something with her wines. "Above all, I want to tell a story with these wines, about their origin and their path to the bottle. Making wine is an incredibly personal experience and I want the final product to have a strong link to the growers, the soil, the climate; everything that played a role in putting it together."

GIVE WITH GRATITUDE

In the spirit of our philosophy African Wines & Marelise Niemann want to dedicate the profits of this special wine of only 660 bottles to a specific charity project. Together we have donated € 2000,—so we can start this project as soon as possible.

Even before founding African Wines we were supporting a wonderful organization in South Africa ; the Dreamcatcher Foundation founded and led by Anthea Rossouw. We have visited multiple projects of the foundation and were delighted to see what great work Anthea and her team achieved by supporting communities and creating self-empowerment. What struck us the most though, were the visits we made to the terminally ill and people with life threatening diseases. Their difficult situations and health problems calls for additional assistance. We want to help them through providing extra care, attention and resources. The Dreamcatcher Foundation Team will make this happen with our donation.
