We’re celebrating South Africa in all of her splendour, so grab a glass of your favourite wine and join us! South Africa’s most treasured wine brands are running a campaign with Wines of South Africa (WoSA) to show the rest of the world what South Africa’s wine industry has to offer.

St Sebastian Bay, where Baleia Wines is located, has one of the most unique climates:  a mixture of the Mediterranean and South Africa, which allows us to grow premium quality wine grapes and olives. Our own unique slice of South Africa helps us create truly spectacular wines.

If you haven’t watched yet, Gunter Schultz, our spectacular winemaker, took us on a virtual wine tasting on Facebook. We had some great questions, and Gunter got to talk about one of his favourite things: the unique terroir of Baleia Wines. If you’re a wine lover or aspiring wine expert, this tasting is for you. Watch it again here: 

 

You can also rewatch our previous wine tastings and cellar tours, which Gunter hosted during the lockdown period. In each live tasting, Gunter unpacked the flavour profiles of each of the Baleia range of food-friendly, Mediterranean-meets-South Africa wines. You can still rewatch these using the links below or visiting our tasting channel:
