\"Reliance
\n<\/a>Since 1898 five Redelinghuys generations have produced grapes and wine under the African sun in Paarl, one of the largest wine regions in Africa. The\u00a0unique location makes all the difference, offering a diverse landscape from which to produce a range of red and white wines across their\u00a0five wine ranges. Their\u00a0grapes are naturally grown in organic soil, hand selected and produced in small batches to be expertly crafted with love.<\/p>\n

The spirit to enjoy life to the fullest is still what goes into each bottle of BioCape wine. This wine is to be enjoyed with any food or on its own, but never alone. Get some friends around, step outside your comfort zone and feel alive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Blended by winemaker Daniele Kriel, the BioCape wine range consists of a refreshing Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc\/Chenin blend, a crisp Ros\u00e9, as well as a earthy Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon\/Merlot blend.\u00a0Their organic farming, diversity and traditional winemaking techniques allows for the creation of a unique wine that boasts heritage, elegance & balance.\u00a0 Part of the secret lies within the bottle, made with care and pride as it was done generations ago.<\/p>\n
