KWV Heritage Collection Cape Blend Cabernet Sauvignon / Pinotage 2023

KWV (Ko-operatiewe Wijnbouwers Vereniging van Zuid-Afrika) is one of the most iconic names in the South African wine industry. Founded in 1918 as a winemaking cooperative in Paarl, it played a central role in regulating the country's wine production for decades before transitioning into a private commercial entity.

This specific wine from the Heritage Collection is a Cape Blend, featuring Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinotage, sourced from the Western Cape region. The brand is celebrated for its deep historical roots and its pioneering efforts in establishing South Africa as a global competitor in the wine and spirits market.

Today, KWV is owned by Vasari Global, an international private equity firm specializing in the consumer brand sector. While ownership has changed hands to global investment groups, the production and heart of the brand remain firmly located in Paarl, South Africa.
