The Wines

Yo El Rey is produced in South Africa. I don't own a vineyard, and so source grapes from trusted farmers around the Cape winelands who take pride in the way they farm, and who are working to minimise their impact on the soils and environment. Everything is farmed without chemicals, with a strong focus on encouraging biodiversity and a healthy eco-system.

 

I make small batches of wines out of a shared cellar space in Simondium, working in a low intervention style, both in the vineyards and in the winery. The aim is to produce honest and fresh wines, that are unfussy, without any additives except some SO2. Most of all, I want to make wines that I am excited about drinking and sharing.
