At Arabella we have a very simple objective: we endeavour to make the best wine possible. Achieving this goal is our passion.
The name Arabella was chosen as a word play on the beautiful Arabian horses, which grace its verdant pastures. Stephen de Wet and son Jamie are both very keen endurance riders. Jamie received his national colours in 2004.
Stephen heads up the viticulture, stud and winemaking departments. Jamie heads up logistic, bottling, labeling , distribution , administration, sales , marketing, advertising and the brand.
Arabella is thus a complete family business in which every family member is passionately involved.
Tasting Notes
Yellow green in colour. Complex green grassy nose with passion fruit, guava and pear aromas. Gooseberry, capsicum and tropical flavours on a full, rich palate with a long sweet-fruited finish.
Awards
They're like your brain's way of saying: you know what the world really needs? Nonsensical story lines that nobody questions and flying cars.
And even though we know they're absolutely bonkers and possess zero relevance whatsoever, we waste no time telling people all about them.
Nobody wants to hear it. You end up sounding like a toddler trying to explain the latest episode of Game of Thrones.
The only dream worth talking about is Martin Luther's. Fact.
Anyhoo, we had a dream we sold out by noon today and spent the rest of our time hanging out the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Home Affairs. Crazy, huh?
