Every dog has its day. Recently, it was leader of the Painted Wolf Wines pack, Jeremy Borg's, day to tell Radio Helderberg about his love for niche wines and the rambunctious African Wild Dog. Listen to Jeremy's interview with Cathy, part of her ''Meet the Winemaker'' interview series.

Jeremy Borg is a bit of a wolf in winemaker's clothes. A big passion for wine drives his successful wine-making career but as he puts it: "I want to sell as many bottles of wine as I possibly can because part of what we do, is to tell a conservation story." Painted Wolf Wines donates between 4 and 5% of their turnover to conservation with a special love for the African Wild Dog that can be found on many of the Painted Wolf wine labels. 

Jeremy's interview with Cathy Retief-Neil tells of a pact that started the Borg family's conservation story, their accidental start of their own winery and how this boutique winery, the proverbial "underdog" has grown in strength to eventually outshining the bigger wineries in the 2019 Old Mutual Trophy Wine Show where it won the Most Successful Producer trophy. With Chenin and Pinotage being Painted Wolf's real specialty, it is their focus on niche wines that has won them big popularity.
