The grapes are hand-picked by award-winning winemakers. These winemakers are hand-picked to make wines for The Fishwives Club Boutique Winery.
Out of thousands, a Fishwives Club wine is then hand-picked off the shelf by your good self at a tasteful grocery store. Or singled out by a curious index finger from a wine list at a fine restaurant run by professionals.
Admittedly, we're particularly picky about the whole who-and-how affair. We have thoroughly unreasonable expectations. Apparently.
Nobody's perfect. (That's the trouble.) However, after being fussed over for some time, the hand-made wines are eventually bottled and prove to be worth every bit of the wait.
Already causing a fabulous riot among the fickle and exacting ladies who lunch. Easy, bourgeois drinking and bursting with ripe fruits on the nose but delightfully dry on the palate, its lingering tease would get lesser wines arrested for loitering. Sublime with salads and seafood.
"The star of the show
from Constantia.
It surpasses expectation
and the fuss continues to escalate."
Unwooded, darlings. It's the way forward with Chardonnay nowadays. Far too frisky to be kept tucked away in a barrel until you're too old and grouchy to drink the stuff, this fresh Chardonnay flirts outrageously on the palate. It's all short skirt and high heels. A soft mouth feel with a cheeky touch of butterscotch and tropical notes. Pineapple and melon melt into a subtle buttery finish.
SOMMELIERS HAVE BEEN ALL AFLUTTER- "EXTRAORDINARY", 'REFRESHING", "YES".
Candy Floss on the nose. Strawberries and cream on the palate. With a Turkish Delight finish. This uniquely South African style Pinotage Rosé is a triumph. Your go-to companion for any occasion and simply gorgeous languishing in a silver ice-bucket on a sweltering Summer afternoon. Pairs perfectly with lobster, pasta, best friends and large yachts.
A pure, Stellenbosch bushvine Merlot. Mellowed from years held captive under the silent spell of French Oak and a Merlot magician's arcane work of will. A viticult grimoire, it invokes light purples of plum and juicy cherry, with soft spice and smoky wisps of French smoke. Desires candles. And fire.
The love story. A long time ago, two French grapes, from vastly different families, fell in love. Two made three and Cabernet Sauvignon was brought giggling into this world. With distinct family features like dark cherry, vanilla, cigar box and pure Oak DNA. This bottle of gorgeousness is made to order. Exclusively yours, et al.
Well would you looky here! I know, right? I’m in something a little fresh. Sure, my anytime-anywhere outfit will raise a few eyebrows and get some whistles, and some old fashioned dad-types might wag a finger and yell ‘You’re not going out like that, young lady!’ So I’m like, ‘Um yep dadster, I think I am.’ And it feels frisky. And liberating.
I’m Rose, by the way. And you are? Never mind, tell me later. You and me, girl. We’ve got outdoorsy places to see and people to flirt with and life is just too damn short to be all corked-up and snobby and too old to look good in hotpants. All we need is a cute little cooler box, me and you and lip gloss, baby. Let’s roll.
Wine-to-go.
Hey, Chardonnay girl. You and I know the world’s gone mad. And life right now looks like a B-Grade movie. The kind you walk out of. But we got each other. The yoga’s good. Meditation’s second nature. And you and I are gonna go out and slay these dragons of living small and acquiescing to state-sanctioned tyranny. Here’s the plan:
Slip on your fav summer dress, pack light and take the truck for a long drive into the mountains. Maybe cruise down to the coast. Hang out with lanterns longside a beach bonfire bohemia with some fine 21st Century hippies. The newly awakened ones. Fungi-loving fugitives on the run from yesterday’s laws. You love your Chardonnay. You and I can at last be friends. Let’s get the hell out of Dodge and head for freedom, babe.
Wine-to-go.
We export to several countries. If you can handle the volumes, we can provide the quality. MOQ 3000 bottles per cultivar.

"The Fishwives club is successful in the Netherlands because it’s such an attractive bottle and mainly “love at first sight”.
When we tell the story about the intentions behind the label and the creation of the brand The Fishwives Club, people want to work with it. It’s an easy going and joyful wine with a huge wink to the traditional wine market and we like that!"
