About


Passion: a strong and barely controllable emotion, an intense enthusiasm... we are passionate about Africa, wine, intellectual property, wine trademarks, travelling by road, rail and air and the marketing of wine and tourism. Africa is our dream, our enthusiasm, our passion, our inspiration! Having met in Uganda, adventured the African continent, climbed her mountains, smelt her rains, travelled the hills, the plains, learnt about her cultures, peoples, history, wildlife, married under the African stars and having journeyed from Cape to Cairo, we invite you to taste and smell our wine so as to experience Africa.

As a qualified and practicing patent and trademark attorney, early 2008 and with the assistance of numerous professionals in the wine industry, including Nico van der Merwe and Thys Louw as winemakers, the dream of launching our EMINEO label became a reality. (Recognized in Platter's South African Wines 2009: Liber II JLS 4 Stars, Liber III RG 4 Stars, Liber I OCG 3.5 stars) EMINEO meaning in Latin 'to stand out' or 'be prominent' characterizes Cape wines, being prominent and standing out amongst the best wines in the world.(www.emineo.com)


In 2009 we are proud to launch our Cape to Cairo wines. The Cape to Cairo wines are carefully barrel selected from the Western Cape to create wines in which you can experience Africa. Our vision is to bring to the world markets the taste of The Classic African Adventure, simply to nurture the dream of the journey from Cape Town to Cairo. Packaged in wooden crates (6 bottles) with a large informative map depicting both route and legendary sight information, we dreamed to wrap this wine in the spirit of Africa.

We invite you to share our passion for The Classic African Adventure.
