Groote Post Vineyards, a distinguished name in the South African wine industry, is thrilled to announce the rebranding of its iconic The Old Man’s Blend range.
Launching this winter, the rebrand features a fresh yet classic look, symbolizing a cross-generational revival. The label artfully intertwines a cattle ear notcher with a vine pruner, highlighting the Pentz family’s journey from dairy farmers to wine producers.
Today, three generations of the Pentz family—Peter Sr., Nick, and Peter Jr.—foster an inclusive heritage of innovation in their vineyards, cellar, and marketing at Groote Post in the Darling Hills on the Cape West Coast.
“The Old Man’s Blend range reflects modern sophistication without compromising on taste or value,” says Peter Pentz, Communications Manager. “Each bottle is a tribute to our family’s vision; every sip captures the essence of transformation. Let’s embrace the past, toast to the future, and revel in the joy of life’s evolving flavours.”
Winemaker Lukas Wentzel, who has been part of the Pentz family tradition for over two decades, adds, “The Old Man’s Blend range offers the same exquisite taste that has won a loyal following. The red blend is characterized by raspberry and fresh cherry flavours, with ripe red fruit notes. The white blend, a Sauvignon Blanc-based summer wine, shows tropical fruit flavours, fresh lively acidity, and a citrus finish.”
