About The Wolftrap range
When the farm was founded, the Franschhoek valley was farwilder than it is today – as the wolf trap we once discovered goes to show. Today, the mountains are still alive with indigenous animals, including the majestic leopard. No evidence of wolves has ever been found though, so we created this wine to remind us of the mysteries and legends of days gone by.
These Rhône-style blends are a great alternative to Bordeaux or Cape blends which tend to dominate wine lists. Their robust, rustic, yet accessible profile is perfectly aligned with the concepts of steakhouse, grill, burger, pizza, pasta-type meals. The range is extremely accessible, both in terms of flavour profile and price point . The wines are convivial and great for occasions in which more than one palate must be considered.
