Cape Classics nurtures winelands children
· 1 min read
New York based wine importer, Cape Classics, has partnered with Indaba Wines to aid transformation in the South African wine industry. The Indaba Education Fund (IEF) provides early childhood teacher training and educational infrastructure to young and vulnerable children living in our winelands. A portion of all global Indaba Wines sales goes towards realising this mission, but the majority of support is expected through fundraising and donations.
“Our long term goal is to have an impact over 25-100 years that will truly be able to change a global paradigm. We want to offer as many children as we can, the chance to write a different, and happy ending to their stories,” says Andre Shearer, CEO and co-founder of Cape Classics.

Ice in the Chenin and other South African wine crimes
There is ice in the Chenin Blanc, Cap Classique in an ordinary wine glass and a bowl of curry waiting beside a bottle of something pink. By old wine standards, the afternoon is a small crime scene.
