From the box to the bottle

Namaqua Wines, famous for their No.1 selling boxed wine, have ventured out to an exciting range of bottled wines. This is our first bottled range for local and African markets, so now the whole continent can share where we come from.

The Namaqua bottled range is available in for red cultivars, namely Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinotage.

Namaqua takes it to the stage

Namaqua Wines is involved with the Huisgenoot Namaqua-fees that will take place from 28 to 30 October 2010 on the Vredendal Sports Field. Visit the Huisgenoot Namaqua-fees web page and if you are interested, purchase your tickets via Computicket.

Namaqua is one of SA's favourites

Namaqua is one of TGi South Africa's Icon Brands. Namaqua Wines are rated number two in the Wine Category Section. But, as the first wine is a sparkling, we can say that Namaqua still comes out on top for being the No. 1 boxed wine brand on the list.

Athletes prove they have the X-factor

Namaqua athletes, Alwyn Maas and Maretha van Zyl, participated in the 2010 Pronutro African Xtrail Run, which took place from the 7th to the 9th of May 2010.

The Pronutro African Xtrail Run offered runners a different route every day, although each race would finish in Kleinmond. These three days of adrenalin driven fun in the great outdoors promised to be revitalising for the mind, body and soul.

Day 1: The race started in Betty's Bay and took runners on a 25 km trail through the picturesque Harold Porter Botanic Gardens towards Kogelberg. Even though this was Maretha's first trail run, the Namaqua Team still finished in 2nd place.

Day 2: The race started in the Kleinmond Caravan Park and took runners on a 42 km trail through the Kogelberg Nature Reserve and back - this route was more technical as there were river crossings, as well as minor rock climbing, en route. Luckily, the Namaqua Team were on top form and finished in 3rd place.

Day 3: The race was cancelled due to weather conditions, but the Namaqua Team still managed to finish 2nd place overall in their category.

Well done, you've made us proud.
