From the South East, the wind they call the Cape Doctor. From the Antarctic, winter rain. A soil that nurtures character. The burning African sun. Wind. Water. Earth. Fire. The ancient elements. An elegant blend of Shiraz 44%, Cinsault 36% and Grenache 20% presenting soft tannins and lots of fruit. Spicy with a complex aftertaste. Partly wood matured.

Inspired by Painted Wolves' stamina, persistence and teamwork, our pack or "peolon" ventures out on cycling safaris through the African bush that raise funds for the conservation of African Wild Dogs (Painted Wolves), and other endangered carnivores.

Taking your tastes buds on this wine adventure helps to secure the future of these rare and beautiful creatures.  We make a donation to the Endangered Wildlife Trust for each bottle sold, to support their wild dog projects in Africa.

Peloton Rouge is a brooding rich and spicy "cape blend" of Shiraz, Pinotage, Grenache, Mourvedre and Viognier with a long velvety finish.  

Heavy savoury oak aromas combined with pencil shavings and hints of dark fruits, plum and cassis. This wine shows great structure and balance. Initial Cabernet Sauvignon characteristics are followed up with a spicy finish from the Shiraz. With great tannin structure and a strong backbone this wine has excellent ageing potential.
