Audacia

Indigenous Wooded Wines

Ex Africa semper aliquid novi – Out of Africa, always something new. 

In 2014 Audacia launches a world first – a unique “No Sulphites or Preservatives Added” red wine that has been created by using indigenous Aspalathus linearis (Rooibos) and Cyclopia genistoides (Honeybush) wood. The wine, a merlot from the 2013 harvest, is the first of an exciting range of wines made according to this method – which is exclusive and patented to Audacia Wines.

Indigenous wood–use breakthrough: Exciting new wines now available!

Indigenous wooded wine is the creation of a totally new and unique category of wine. The discovery that the use of Aspalathus linearis(Rooibos) and Cyclopia genistoides (Honeybush) wood in the wine making process assists to preserve and flavour wine, thus providing wine drinkers with a unique tasting and sulphite free alternative, has enabled Audacia to substantially raise the bar in local winemaking.
