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.  

In a small cellar in the Jonkershoek valley limited quantities of hand-picked grapes are personally vinified by Ettiene le Riche into red wines which reflect the nature of the fruit and the soil. These wines are oak-matured and after further maturation they will be quite superb.

This Shiraz was made from specially selected grapes from the year's ripe harvest.

All fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness and gently pressed to retain aroma and flavour.  The wine was aged in small oak barrels, which added greater weight and complexity.

This full-bodied wine shows freshly crushed black pepper aromas with hints of cinnamon and cloves on the nose with lots of brumbly red berry fruit and well-integrated vanilla tones.
