Namaqua - tried, tested, approved and recommended by Crush

Namaqua's Dry Red and Blanc de Blanc made a proud appearance in this month's Crush magazine. After years of boxed wines not featuring alongside bottled wine reviews, Micheal (the connoisseur) comments that it's 'an omission that needs correction'.

Be sure to visit Crush magazine to read the full review and see how Namaqua puts boxed wine back on the theoretical map. Also make sure you have a box of Namaqua in the fridge, ready and waiting to be shared this holiday.

A heartwarming letter

Namaqua Wines recently received a heartwarming letter from Lesley Brisco. Read what he had to say...

To Namaqua,

I just want to tell you how fantastic your Namaqua Wines are! I started drinking them a few years ago and always recommend them to my friends as an affordable, good option in boxed wines.

I love the Blanc de Blanc!

I have a hairdressing salon in Sea Point and always offer my clients a glass of this chilled wine. They love it and usually can't believe it's merely a boxed wine. I have converted many to your wines.

Guys, keep up the good work and keep producing affordable, good quality wine that we all love.

Many Thanks, Lesley Brisco

We really appreciate your kind words Lesley, keep on sharing!

Harvest Time Tours

Namaqua Wines will be hosting their wine cellar tours during harvest time, from 22 February to 22 April 2011, Monday to Friday between 10:00 and 15:00.

Phone 027 213 1080 to book your free cellar tour.


Why not make a day out of it? After your tour, you can go relax at Die Keldery Restaurant with a glass of cold Verdelho (only available at the cellar), which is the South African Champion at the Young Wine Show 2010 in the Other White Category.

We hope you can make it - you'll only reap the benefits.

Promotions!

Namaqua Wines will be promoting their products in stores to share where they come from, face to face with their customers. These ladies have been trained by us to promote Namaqua the way it should be - remember to say hi to them at a liquor store near you!

It's that time of the year again

...and what a great time of the year it is! Namaqua Wines have been hard at work harvesting. We have already received approximately 6 000 ton grapes at Spruitdrift Cellar, where we produce our red wines; and approximately 22 000 ton grapes at Vredendal Cellar, where we produce our white wines.

We even broke some harvest-time records, for instance a stellar amount of 2460 ton grapes that were received on a single day! The trucks had to line up, forming a queue that stretched as far as the railway station. With the amount of effort that we're all putting into this year's harvest, it looks as if every day is going to be the same! Well done to everybody involved.

Namaqua shares with new Maties

Namaqua Wines attended the 2011 Jool in style, sponsoring the Dagbreek and Lydia Houses for their celebrations. Namaqua was seen everywhere around Stellenbosch, creating a great brand awareness while sharing where they come from. We wish all the best to the new Maties in Stellenbosch!
