Painted Wolf Madach 2024

Willem Van Zyl — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 10:23:10 +0000

Blend: Pinotage 45%, Grenache Noir 27%, Syrah 18%, Mourvedre 10%

Madach is the slang used over the radio and in general conversation by game rangers in South Africa’s lowveld, the area in and around the famous Kruger National Park. Painted Wolves are very rare in the Kruger Park, despite years of effort to develop a larger population here.

Vibrant red and black berry aromas are lifted by a hint of Five Spice, flowing onto a medium-bodied palate with supple tannins and an elegant, lingering finish.

Serve at 14-16 Deg.

A Cape Blend like this (typically Pinotage-led) pairs beautifully with any dish that has slight sweetness, warm spices or meat with smoky or charred flavours.

This wine will continue to improve in the bottle for over 3-5 years.

Painted Wolf Lycaon Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2023

Willem Van Zyl — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 13:57:03 +0000

Lycaon comes from the scientific name for an African wild dog, Lycaon Pictus, and is derived from the Greek word Lycos for a wolf. The label illustration is from a page in an 18th century book on hunting in Southern Africa, a time when painted wolves were common throughout the region.

A beautiful, elegant and rich wine, with aromas and flavours of citrus, and ripe peaches. On the palate crisp acidity is balanced by a creamy and slightly waxy texture, with layers of fruit, and straw providing depth and intensity. The wine has a long, soft and rewarding finish.

Serve at 11-13 Deg.

Pair with pork belly, roast pork, dishes with apple or spice elements.

This wine will develop in bottles over the coming 5 years, gaining complexity as it develops.
