I Bless the Rains Down in Africa… 

Lubanzi Red Blend                       

Lubanzi, hailing from South Africa’s rugged Swartland, makes well-crafted wines from some of the world’s oldest soils.  They are a socially conscious company, helping to preserve the land by recycling 50% of their profits back into the land and the people that help take care of it.  They practice sustainable farming, Fair Trade and are carbon neutral.

The Lubanzi Red Blend is an old school Rhone blend with a contemporary style. Black fruit and smoke are predominant on the nose with the palate having notes of blueberry, plum, black pepper and spice.  This is a great wine to be packed in a backpack and carried to the top of a distant mountain (when it stops raining)!

Best served between 55-60°F

Varietal:  Shiraz, Grenache & Mourvèdre
