A new wine has hit the shelves from South African female winemakers.
HER wines has a distinct quality and a flare of opulence infused with feminine African style that reflects the confidence and beauty of the sheros that nurture the grapevines.
The local wine collection was launched in 2020 and is represented by a team of young black women who have all worked in the wine industry.
They combined their skills to create a one-of-a-kind offering for powerful and graceful women from all walks of life.
General manager and winemaker Praisy Dlamini says they saw a gap in the market for an all-female, all-black business that could combine their skillsets to offer a unique proposition – a wine brand women could be proud of.
The name was chosen to represent the sisters, mothers, daughters and grandmothers that strive to make the world a better place – and then retire to a modestly priced bottle of HER wine with family and friends.
HER wines tantalises the palate while delivering a calming feeling of unbridled bliss.
This is achieved through the selection of locally-sourced, high-quality grapes from the outskirts of the Cape Winelands that are picked at optimum ripeness and maturity.
"We pride ourselves on sourcing the best grapes from local vineyards as it gives us control over the complexity and depth in flavour in each collection, satisfying the avid local wine buyer." said Dlamini.
Supporting the local economy and giving back to the community is a core part of HER wines mission.
The HER team have pledged to contribute 2% of their profits to a scholarship fund that will enable young, talented and driven individuals to achieve their career dreams.
The first two scholars to receive the bursary have started their journey and will be mentored by the HER wines team.
They will learn critical skills related to starting a business and overcoming the challenges associated with entrepreneurship.
