Our Wines

Eco Friendly, Healthy Wines

It is our aim at Kingsriver Estate to produce wines that have strong correlation to the health of those who drink our wines.

More and more it is being proven that some elements in red wine, especially polyphenolic compounds such as flavonoids and resveratrol are beneficial to health in particular the prevention of heart disease.

During the past 3 years we have experimented with various wine making methods and have gained much experience in producing eco-friendly wines with various health benefits.

Red wines with these healthy elements are produced in the old fashioned way with longer skin contacts, wood aging (high tannins) etc.

This is the way we make our wines and will continue to improve on this in 2007. This year we will go full out with spontaneous fermentation by means of the natural yeast on the grapes to enhance the African character of our wines.
