Painted Wolf
Painted Wolf operates in South Africa's Coastal Region of the Western Cape, where maritime influences and diverse soils shape distinctive white and red wines. The winery's Lycaon Old Vine Chenin Blanc draws from mature vines to produce a wine that has attracted attention from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. Alongside this flagship white, Painted Wolf produces a Roussanne and Lycaon Grenache—each reflecting the region's capacity for both textured whites and structured reds. The Coastal Region's cool-climate conditions and varied terroir support the aromatic precision of Chenin Blanc and the mineral depth of Roussanne, while Grenache benefits from the area's warm days and moderate maritime cooling. These wines represent the winery's focus on both traditional and contemporary expressions within one of South Africa's most dynamic wine districts.
