Wasn’t it January just a few minutes ago? And how can a year feel both so short and so long? Ah well, bring on the holiday season – we all need some rest and festive cheer!
Thank you for your support in 2023, which has once again enabled us to continue and grow our contributions to the conservation of African wild dogs and strive to make ever better wines.

Wine of the month: Lycaon Grenache 2021
Because special times call for special wine, we can think of no better companion to your festive fare than our Lycaon Grenache 2021. Bright ruby in colour, this is a spicy vivacious medium-bodied wine packed with flavour. It is both thirst quenching and complex, and a most versatile food partner.
Lycaon comes from the scientific name for the African wild dog, Lycaon Pictus, and is derived from the Greek word Lycos for a wolf. The label illustration is from an 18th century book on hunting in Southern Africa, a time when painted wolves were common throughout the region.
As our holiday season gift to you, and to the sadly much diminished population of African wild dogs, we offer you this flagship wine at just R360 until 31 December 2023.
Come and visit us at our den
Our offices will close on 15 December and re-open on 8 January 2024, but our tasting room will be open to welcome you. If you’re in the Western Cape, please visit us and sample our wines, view wild dog art, and shop our range of Painted Wolf themed wine accessories, books, fluffy toys, and other surprises.
Our den is located at the beautiful Simondium Guild between Paarl and Franschhoek. Pop in between 10h00 and 17h00 Monday to Sunday (except for Christmas Day and New Year's Day, when we will be closed) for a tasting of our Den and Pack wines. Or, book in advance for our premium Alpha Tasting.
We have ambitious goals for 2024 and look forward to sharing these with you early in the new year. Until then, CHEERS to a joyous holiday season!
