Lubanzi is a small-batch South African collaborative social enterprise founded by Charlie and Walker, working with hand-picked, dry-farmed grapes from the Swartland in the Western Cape. Its eight wines include Chenin Blanc, Rainboat Pét-Nat, Rosé Bubbles, Red Blend and Shiraz, made with minimal-intervention methods such as natural fermentation, whole-bunch pressing and small-batch stainless-steel processing. The producer works exclusively with Integrity & Sustainability Certified farms and combines environmental and social commitments: 100% TreeFree packaging, 1% for the Planet and B Corp certification, Climate Neutral carbon offsets, Fair For Life Fair Trade certification, and a pledge to give half of net profits to the Pebbles Project.
