Hazendal Wine Estate’s Prestige Brut Cap Classique 2017 has a new face thanks to renowned South African artist Athi-Patra Ruga.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The estate launched the Artist Series Limited Edition label under the curatorial vision of Khanyisile Mbongwa. In a limited-edition of only 1\u2009500 bottles worldwide, the label was created for the Hazendal Prestige Brut Cap Classique of the 2017 harvest.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wine is an elegant blend of 62% chardonnay and 38% pinot noir made from the estate’s grapes, held for seven years on the lees and degorged with zero dosage in 2024. Set within a hand-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

crafted African pine chest and accompanied by a curatorial booklet, the collectible wine is now available for order. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Artist Series Limited Edition bottle is a nuanced harmonisation between important art and exceptional wine. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A leading voice in South African wine writing, Malu Lambert notes that “the vibrant packaging hints to the bottle’s energetic contents” and gave the Cap Classique a splendid 94\/100 score, with international critics echoing the review.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hazendal is committed to engage and form part of contemporary Africa’s unique and complex multi-cultural context. In 2024 the Estate founded the annual Hazendal Festival as part of this commitment. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided by the vision and provocation of an invited curator, the festival brings together artists, scientists and cultural practitioners to think and create alongside each other. The Artist Series Limited Edition label emerges from the intellectual, artistic and spiritual dynamics of the festival with the curator commissioning a highly relevant artist to reflect on the creative harvest of the given year’s festival through a single work of art.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inaugural edition was dedicated to the incredible life-fostering qualities of soil. With the hope to grow a meaningful tradition of an annual festival, the Estate sought to attend to the cross-cultural meanings of the land on which it operates.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The profits from the limited edition will be in entirety dedicated to supporting the arts, culture and science industries. The estate is donating 5% of all sales to the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, and the remaining profits are committed to the organisation of the next edition of the Hazendal Festival to be held in early December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
