Welcome to the world's largest family

We are proud to announce that Gallo Wines has been launched in South Africa.


What started as a dream come true over 75 years ago, has blossomed into the world's largest family owned winery. Gallo Wines is based on a strong work ethic, a drive for perfection and a focus on quality.

The Gallo family still believes family ownership is the most effective way for the Winery to continue as a world leader in the wine industry. They have not yet been proven wrong.

In fact, as one of the most acclaimed wineries in the world with over 15 000 acres of vineyards, more than 5 000 employees worldwide and ever increasingly product portfolio - that is currently sporting 60 different brands, including table and sparkling wines, malt beverage products, dessert wines and distilled spirits - the Winery keeps growing from strength to strength.

We are proud to announce that the following selection of Gallo Wines will be available in South Africa:

Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine has aromas of blackberry and berry jam that effortlessly integrate with notes of spices, chocolate and vanilla. The Gallo Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon succeeds admirably with thick cuts of prime rib or juicy oven-roasted lamb. Meaty red pasta sauces are another consideration, or hearty Asian dishes that are generously spiced.

White Grenache
Vibrant fruit flavours of fresh strawberry and watermelon, with notes of floral and spice make the 2008 vintage the perfect wine to serve with a variety of lighter foods, such as salad greens tossed in a tangy balsamic vinaigrette or grilled seafood brochette.

Chardonnay
This wine features ripe tree fruit with notes of pineapple and mango. The fruit is enhanced with a hint of toasted oak and brown spice. It has a lingering, creamy finish with a balanced acidity. This pairs beautifully with pasta in cream sauce, mild cheeses, or grilled chicken.
