Special sectionsIn the news | Bovlei releases new brandBovlei Cellars in Wellington has released a new brand named after Thomas Kipling the celebrated South African war hero and humanitarian. The range comprises five wines the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009 Merlot, 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot, non-vintage Dry Red and the 2009 Chenin Blanc/Sauvignon Blanc.  These wines are produced from grapes grown in selected vineyards in the Wellington region with its variety of microclimates and terroirs and like their namesake are wines of character. DFC hero Kipling enlisted in the South African army in the early months of the Second World War and saw action as an air gunner with the SA Air Force in Egypt and Italy. He participated in two dangerous missions over Nazi-occupied Warsaw in 1944, of dropping supplies and ammunition by bombers to the Polish resistance, from which few returned alive. For his heroic actions, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and two high-ranking Polish medals. He was promoted to the rank of Captain and was demobilised in 1946. He died in 2007 in East London. Herman le Roux, GM of Bovlei Cellars, says, “We are pleased to have acquired a brand named after a patriotic South African.” The new wines are available from Pick ‘n Pay and Makro, while Game will release the wines in its Africa stores.
