While the burger’s roots may be American, South Africans have been perfecting the art of the "patty and bun" since the 1920s. At Painted Wolf, we take that deliciousness seriously.

One of our founders, Jeremy, isn’t just a conservationist, he’s a trained chef.

]]> Our 20th Vintage https://www.paintedwolfwines.com/our-20th-vintage/ Mon, 04 May 2026 11:28:25 +0000 https://www.paintedwolfwines.com/?p=15517 Gosh, I can hardly believe that 20 years have passed since we first harvested grapes for Painted Wolf. Each vintage has been different with its own set of challenges, excitement, and success and this vintage was no different. After a relatively dry and mild winter the vines were itching to dust off their winter slumber and burst into life. Early budding is often an indicator of an early harvest, and the 2025-26 growing season is no exception.

Huge thanks to Olivia Gradidge, marketing manager for WTM (World Travel Market) Africa and ILTM (International Luxury Travel Market) Africa, who gave us such wonderful opportunities, together with her assistant Nkele Mabelebele.

Before 2020, we made wine in the same cellar for nine vintages, but the post-COVID period has been disruptive. When that cellar closed, we struggled to find a […]
