How did Woolworths start?

Since its founding in 1931 by Max Sonnenberg, Woolworths has evolved from a humble store offering premium goods to a retail giant renowned for its quality and dependability. What started with a focus on essentials has expanded into a diverse offering, including groceries, clothing, and a carefully curated selection of fine wines.

In partnership with farmers, vineyards, and artisans, Woolworths wine ensures that its products meet the highest standards. The selection of wines available, including Woolworths red wine, represents both local and international producers and highlights the exceptional quality of South African winemaking. With Nero Wine now on the shelves, customers can savor local, premium wines alongside global selections.

Woolworths’s Impact on South African Wine

Woolworths has played a crucial role in shaping the South African wine landscape. By supporting local winemakers and offering a broad range of wines, they make it easier for consumers to access some of the country’s finest offerings. With a commitment to sustainability, Woolworths wine works closely with ethical producers to ensure the wines they sell are crafted responsibly.

The retailer’s dedication to promoting sustainability goes beyond the wines themselves. Through its partnerships with local wineries and global producers, Woolworths not only elevates the profile of South African wines but also champions sustainable practices at every level of the wine trade. This focus ensures that Woolworths’ wine selection truly reflects the diverse and high-quality nature of South Africa’s vineyards.

The Story Behind Nero Wine

Nero Wine specialises in crafting exquisite red wines exclusively from the Nero d’Avola grape, a variety with a rich history rooted in Sicily, Italy. Known for its dark colour and full-bodied nature, Nero d’Avola is a grape that thrives in challenging conditions, particularly in volcanic soils, which helps produce wines with bold flavours and intense depth.

Petrus Bosman of Bosman Family Vineyards was the pioneer who introduced the Nero d’Avola grape to South Africa, recognizing its potential to adapt well to the country’s diverse terroirs. Since its first bottling in 2014, Nero Wine has embraced the unique qualities of this grape, harnessing the resilience and complexity that the Nero d’Avola vine brings to the wine. The brand has quickly built a reputation among wine enthusiasts for producing wines that reflect both the traditional essence of the grape and the innovation of South African winemaking.

Nero Wine’s commitment to showcasing the true character of Nero d’Avola has made it a favorite among those who appreciate a rich, full-bodied red. Its wines continue to celebrate the extraordinary adaptability of the grape, offering a unique and flavourful experience that highlights South Africa’s growing prominence in the world of fine wine.
