South Africa Set


Don't know whether to give red or white wine as a gift? Now you don't have to decide- Obikwa's gift set has both!
This South African wine gift set comes with two bottles of wine-Obikwa Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc- and hand-made wooden salad servers with inlaid tribal art.

The Obikwa brand pays tribute to the intrepid Obiqua people of the 1600's, who had ostriches as companions (hence the ostrich on the label) and settled in the Breede River Valley below the Obiqua mountains, about 100 km north of Cape Town.


The Obikwa Shiraz is a New-World style, fresh fruity shiraz with lots of berry fruit and pepper. Enjoyed by those who like Yellow Tail, this pairs with bbq, grilled meats, curries or even by itself.


The Obikwa Sauvignon Blanc shows lots of guava, tropical fruit and grapefruit aromas and flavours with a crisp, zesty finish. Pair with white fish, salads or a hot day- not many of those around in winter, but drinking this wine will put you back in a summer state-of-mind!
