Merlot

Zintokazi Wines was meticulous about this Merlot as it personifies the boldness of the ladies’ characters. The wine has a rich ruby colour, with an interesting combination hint of plum on the nose and clove flavours on the palate.

The Ladies
Mbali Mtshali (left) was born and raised in Johannesburg, Gauteng and Zamaswazi Luswazi in Durban, KwaZulu Natal. Both Zintokazi are professionally registered Engineers and met in the earlier years of their careers, working for the same organisation. A friendship ensued with a strong foundation from their love of wine, which later developed into a business partnership and the birth of Zintokazi Wines.
With Zamaswazi managing the Durban and surrounding office and Mbali managing the greater Gauteng office, the wine is delivered and has a wide reach throughout South Africa and is soon expanding to the export market. Zintokazi Wines has collaborated with multiple other small and medium enterprises in wine exhibitions and events.
