Black Elephant Vintners & Co

Franschhoek | South Africa

Story


Black Elephant Vintners & CO have been located in the heart of Franschhoek since 2013. The Franschhoek Valley is one of the oldest winegrowing areas of the Cape, as well as one of the most beautiful. Amidst the world-class restaurants and amazing vistas, its wines are sometimes overlooked, but these guys are on a mission to prove the valley is home to some exceptional vineyards as long as you know where to look. Founders Kevin Swart (‘Black’ in Afrikaans) and Raymond Ndlovu (‘Elephant’ in Zulu) were joined by winemaker and viticulturalist Jacques Wentzel, born and bred on Robben Island and cutting his teeth first at Warwick and then nearby at Môreson. Their wines are confident, charming, very personal and very memorable. Grapes are sourced from Kevin’s own small farm in the village, as well as isolated vineyards around the valley, including what is believed to be the oldest vineyard for white grapes in South Africa.
