Back in 2017 when a 40 year-old chenin blanc vineyard was about to be destroyed to make room for a more profitable apple orchard, Johan got the backing of 20,000 Angels to step in and save the old vines. The first vintage sold out in two months, since then, Johan has reinvested the money to rescue even more old vines and nurture them back to greatness…

Included in this exceptional 6-pack is Johan's Old Vines Tinta Barocca (a gloriously smooth, fruity red from a forgotten single vineyard), Old Vines Chardonnay (a seriously refined, Burgundy-style Chard from one of the oldest Chardonnay vineyards in South Africa, planted in 1986), Old Vines Chenin Blanc (a classy drop that’s refreshing yet powerful and rich all at the same time) and Old Vines Cinsault (a beautifully smooth and oh-so-drinkable red).

Growing old vines in South Africa is a labour of love. They sit on hard-to-reach vineyards, need careful pruning and hand harvesting, and are low yielding. But in terms of the balance, structure, and complex flavours they bring to a wine, they’re well worth it, as the wines in Johan’s old vines 6-pack prove.
