Black Elephant Vintners

Black Elephant Vintners

They call themselves ‘Rebels of the Vine’ and are pushing the boundaries of a traditional industry and having fun with their wines as seen by their labels. Based in the quaint village of Franschhoek, Kevin, Jacques and Raymond came together to combine their diverse skills and creativity to make great wine. They took inspiration from their surnames to become the Black Elephant Vintners – Swart and Ndlovu become `Black Elephant` and Jacques is the Vintner! Their wines are inspired by good tunes and they firmly believe that music and wine make the best pairing – far from traditional and very Rock ‘n’ Roll!

They see themselves as not just a brand; they are a movement. A movement that believes in breaking the rules and defying conventions, while still paying homage to the art of winemaking. Franschhoek, a place of unrivalled natural beauty, is their home. It’s a place where tradition meets innovation, and the past meets the present. They are inspired by the spirit of this place, and we want to share it with the world.

Each bottle is a work of art. It is a tribute to the terroir and the people who make it possible. The diverse brand portfolio enables them to create wines that are unique, exciting, and distinctive. They are determined to ensure that their wines and brands are always at the forefront of innovation, pushing the envelope of what is possible.

They have created something new, something that embodies the spirit of Franschhoek
