As the founder of HER Wine Collection, I take immense pride in sharing our journey and the exceptional white wines we craft in the stunning Cape Wine Region. Today, I’m particularly excited to tell you about our white wine collection, which you can find at Woolworths stores nationwide and online at R94.99 – a price point we’ve carefully chosen to make our wines accessible without compromising on quality.
Our Winemaking Philosophy
When we established HER Wine Collection, our vision was clear: to create wines that would showcase the extraordinary potential of our Cape terroir while remaining approachable and enjoyable. Every bottle we produce tells the story of our dedication to this vision, and I’m thrilled that through our partnership with Woolworths, we can share these wines with wine lovers across South Africa.
Our Signature White Wines
Let me tell you about two wines that are particularly close to my heart – our Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. Each represents what we do best at HER Wine Collection: creating wines that speak of their origin while delivering exceptional value.
Our Chenin Blanc: A Labor of Love
Our Chenin Blanc is special to me because it embodies everything we stand for at HER Wine Collection. We source our grapes from two distinctive regions – Breedekloof and Wellington – a decision we made to create a more complex and nuanced wine. The result is something truly remarkable: a bold yet fresh wine that greets you with wonderful tropical and stone fruit aromas before revealing creamy apple notes and a lingering green melon finish.
I often find myself reaching for this wine when hosting friends or family. Its versatility makes it perfect for nearly any occasion, from casual gatherings to more formal dinners. The way it pairs with food, particularly seafood and light poultry dishes, makes it an essential part of any wine collection.
Our Sauvignon Blanc: A Tropical Paradise
Our Sauvignon Blanc holds a special place in our portfolio. When crafting this wine, we aimed to capture the vibrant essence of summer in every bottle. The result is a wine bursting with passion fruit, pineapple, and lemon flavours – a true celebration of what makes Cape white wines so distinctive.
Why Woolworths?
Our partnership with Woolworths was a natural choice. Their commitment to quality and value aligns perfectly with our own values at HER Wine Collection. When you find our wines on Woolworths’ shelves at R94.99, you’re getting more than just a bottle of wine – you’re getting our promise of quality, our dedication to craft, and our passion for winemaking.
Perfect Pairings: From Our Table to Yours
As someone who loves both wine and food, I’m often asked about pairing suggestions. Our Chenin Blanc has become a favourite among those who enjoy:
- Fresh seafood dishes
- Creamy pasta creations
- Light poultry meals
- Traditional Cape Malay curries
- Fresh summer salads
Our Sauvignon Blanc, with its bright profile, is my go-to recommendation for:
- Fresh oysters
- Light seafood dishes
- Goat cheese salads
- Vegetarian cuisine
- Summer appetisers
Serving Our Wines
To enjoy our wines at their best, I recommend storing them between 12-14°C. Serve the Chenin Blanc at 8-10°C and the Sauvignon Blanc slightly cooler at 6-8°C. I always suggest giving the wines about 10-15 minutes to breathe after opening – it’s amazing how they evolve in the glass.
