Hundreds of SA consumer 'memories' captured on Drostdy Hof's limited edition box wine
· 2 min read
Is your picture featured on the limited edition of Drostdy Hof’s box wine? Does your fondest memories with you and your friends show up on Drostdy Hof’s limited edition (3-litre) bag-in-the-box wines? It doesn’t get anymore personal than that!
In a first for South Africa, Drostdy Hof has showcased the special moments of hundreds of South Africans in a photographic collage. Several photos appear on five of the 3L limited edition packages, available from mid-February 2019 (or until stocks last).
In 2018, thousands of photos of wine lovers across the country were received in the #CaptureYourMoment digital campaign. Everyone competed for a chance to see their special moments with their friends and family on the limited edition boxes of Drostdy Hof, and on its social media platforms.
The 3L range of bag-in-the-box wines is exactly the same quality wine found in the 750 ml bottles. It varies from extra-light to dry white and red wines and also caters for those with a sweeter palette. The box wines are convenient, effortless and the perfect addition for any occasion.
The Drostdy Hof Natural Sweet White is a blend of Chenin Blanc and Colombard grapes and is a delicate wine with a fruit flavour and a sweet taste. The Drostdy Hof Natural Sweet Red is a combination of noble red wine varieties. It’s light with a fruity flavour and smooth finish. The energetic Drostdy Hof Natural Sweet Rosé is a blend of Sauvignon, Cinsaut, Chenin Blanc and Colombard grapes with a nice combination of strawberry, cherry and plum flavours.
The Drostdy Hof Claret Select is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, Shiraz and Tinta Barocca grapes with fresh strawberries, mulberry and ripe red fruit flavours. Made of Chenin Blanc grapes, the Drostdy Hof Adelpracht is a full, rich wine with flavours of dried apricots and peaches and a touch of honey and flowers. The Drostdy Hof series (3L) of bag-in-the-box wine sells between R110 and R135 and is available nationwide.

The Portrait of a South African Winemaker
In James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Stephen Dedalus resolves to express himself "as freely as I can and as wholly as I can". Joyce's hero refuses to be just one thing. That same many-sided energy is increasingly being asked of the modern South African winemaker, who has to adopt different faces for different places.
Who will drink South African wine tomorrow?
Tomorrow’s wine drinker is already here, standing at the braai with a can in one hand and a phone in the other. South African wine still has time to join the occasion, although it may need to loosen its collar first.
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.
