Not just another day at the office

We had a little dress up at the Namaqua Offices on the 4th of September 2009 in celebration of Casual Day - but nothing formal!

Casual Day is a fun fundraising project benefiting persons with disabilities.

Scroll down to have a look at the outfits we conjured up:

Namaqualand Flower Run 2009

Namaqua Wines sponsored the Namaqualand Flower Run that took place on the 29th of August 2009. Tekkie owners from all over gathered to share their love for the outdoors. The weather complimented the pleasantly warm atmosphere at the race. The two races, one 8 km and one 20 km route, was kick-started at the same time from the scenic Rooibergskloof Farm. The epic 20 km route took the participants to the summit of the Rooiberg. Bare in mind, this wasn't a road race, so the challenge was just so much more straining. It's understood why a great sense of accomplishment was felt by those who completed the race.

Here is Namaqua's proud team.

Namaqua sponsored the post-event get-together with a whole lot of beverages that was shared among the patrons to celebrate a fulfilling, victorious day in the Rooiberg countryside.

Namaqua boxes the best at Young Wine Show

Namaqua showed off their current vintages at the Young Wine Show 2009. This is a wine show that gives winemakers the opportunity to show what they're made of, literally.

The Young Wine Show 2009 proved to be a great success for Namaqua. We received the SA Champion Other Red Cultivar Trophy for Pinotage with wood and sugar content of more than 5g/liter. Well done, team!


But that's not all!

We won two other Class Categories and, among other medals in our total medal count, received five Gold Medals. It surely is something to be proud of, but we can humbly reflect and say "We share where we come from - and that's all."

Namaqua, Namaqua so na aan my hart

Hier by Namaqua, het ons 'n brief ontvang van Janneke Brewis. Dit is 'n gedig, wat opgedra word aan ons mense hier by Namaqua. Laat ons asseblief toe om dit met u ook te deel.

Op ‘n ligter noot - deur Janneke Brewis

Die Namaqua oes is ‘n groot sukses
Hoekom sê mense wyn is ‘n pes?

Prakties, maklik en aantreklik is die verpakking
Deur net daarna te kyk word my smaakpapille aangewakker.

Daar is soveel soorte om van te kies,
Ek drink sommer die wit, rooi en rosy , op een aand

...SIES!

Daar is nooit so iets soos te veel,
Ek eet sommer die boks ook heel!

Die wyn is so lekker, jy wil nooit stop,
Daarom benodig mens soms later ‘n mop.

Die vars geure van Namaqua prikkel jou sense,
Geen wonder die wyn word gedrink deur soveel mense

Appel, peer pynappel of lemoen,
Wat okal jou smaak van keuse:

Hierdie wyn is definitief MY lewens leuse.

Have you met Black Betty?

Namaqua Wines has a new member on their team, and she works in the deliveries department. She is of outstanding character, and is quite something to look at.

Say "hello" to Black Betty: she's new, she's shiny and she shares Namaqua wherever she goes.

Even in traffic, she makes people smile.

And in Afrikaans.

Namaqua shares with Tanzania

Joshua Fourie, from Namaqua Wines, encountered a pleasant surprise on his trip to Tanzania. He was greeted by a dedicated force that was building a brand for Namaqua, and not merely selling a wine.


Joshua was overwhelmed by the passion of the staff. He attended a prize-giving, where "WE BOX THE BEST! NAMAQUA!" was chanted by the passionate crowd every time before an award was handed over. The people in Tanzania are so proud of the Namaqua Wine Brand, that they even put up a Namaqua VIP Lounge. Now that's classy.


Something that really struck Joshua, was that they even painted their own Namaqua Branding on the walls...

To quote Joshua: "WOW!"
