Come join us as we sample 4 wines from the Baobab Portfolio. Baobab Wines was founded in 2015 when founder Giles Thomas relocated from South Africa to the United States and recognized a surprising gap: despite the depth, quality, and diversity of South African wine, very little of the country's true story was being represented in the American market.
Coming from outside the traditional wine industry, Giles approached the category differently - driven less by convention and more by curiosity, long-term relationships, and a belief that South African wine deserved greater attention on its own.
What many see as a single wine country is actually one of the world's most diverse and intricate wine landscapes - spanning five major regions, more than 30 districts, and over 100 wards shaped by dramatically different soils, climates, elevations, and coastal influences. We strive to share this fascinating world through educational trade materials that are actually understandable and accessible.
Understanding this powerful New World wine category requires time spent in vineyards, relationships with growers, and deep knowledge of where South Africa's most compelling sites and talented producers are found.
