OUR INSPIRATION
THE NAME
"Born of Fire is a tribute to the Cape Floral Kingdom.
Nature is an endless source of inspiration"
The Cape Floral Kingdom is the home to thousands of plant species unique to South Africa, the vegetation is composed of fynbos (Cape “fine Bush”). Fire is necessary for many fynbos plants, such as proteas, to release and activate seeds. Born of Fire, new flowers grow, ensuring propagation and survival.

A fabulous white wine, showing mango, papaya and dried-lemon character with stony and floral notes. Deep and complex palate with wonderful tension between the tropical fruit, the spicy oak and a peppery quality. The long finish is both bright and creamy.

Very complex, rich, red to dark fruit and plenty of very fine, exotic, sweet-scented spice, as well as a red floral edge and a thread of dried herbs and fresh earth.

HOPES & DREAMS
"Nature is an endless source of inspiration"
French winemakers, Sophie and Julien Schaal share their time between their winery in Alsace (France) and the Cape wineland (South Africa).
Since 2005, Julien has been making wine in Elgin under his eponimous brand. In 2013 Sophie joined him in the adventure; a graduate of the winemaking school in Burgundy she has embraced the project wholeheartedly.
It’s not how fast time moves, it’s the distance.
It’s not the answer, it’s the question.
It’s not the sorrow, it’s the lesson.
It’s not how we die, it’s this life we are living.
