Good things come in boxes

This latest fan letter was sent to us all the way from Malta, Europe:

I have just finished drinking one of your 8-sided boxes of white wine. I would like to say that I found your wine extremely refreshing and having a bouquet which is amazing for a wine which comes in a tetra pack and not glass bottled. I also have to point out that I bought the wine from my supermarket for EURO 8.78 which is roughly equivalent to 91 RAND. This makes your wine CHEAPER than TWO leading Maltese white bottle wines which are very popular here in Malta. Again congratulations from a very satisfied customer. Regards. Henry A. De Marco

Thanks for the fantastic feedback, Henry! This letter just goes to show - never judge a wine by its packaging!

Namaqua is Die Een

Our wines have always had a certain star quality about them, so it came as no surprise when two of our finest recently made their star debut on the acting front. In Afrikaans artist Le-Lue's latest music video for her song Die Een, Namaqua's Shiraz and Extra Lite make star appearances throughout. According to those on set, the two Namaqua stars were a joy to work with, never failing to get it right on the very first take. Blending Le-Lue's angelic vocals and our lip-smacking wines, the video turned out beautifully, captivating the audience from the very first scene. Click here to watch Le-Lue's full fairy tale unfold, and be sure to keep a lookout for Namaqua!

Drumroll please...

Ladies and gentlemen, boxes and wine glasses - we are proud to introduce the NUMBER 1 recognised boxed wine brand in South Africa... NAMAQUA! Yes, you read it - number one, nommer een, namba moja, in the whole entire country that is South Africa.

This incredible honour has been bestowed upon The Namaqua Box by the TGI 2011 Icon Brands Awards, after a recent survey of which the results appeared in the Rapport. Of course, it's impossible to become the number one of your kind without spectacular number one supporters. So from all of us at Namaqua - thank you for your loyal support, appreciation and sharing, and helping The Box claim his fame. You can be sure that we'll only continue to box the best, for the best.
