Porcupine Ridge, established in 1997, is an accessible, everyday wine brand offering exceptional value and superb drinking quality for tables worldwide. The brand adheres to an honest, natural winemaking philosophy that is true to type and true to cultivar, with no acidification or additions, focusing on generous palate weight and individual varietal character expression. Named after the Crested Porcupine families inhabiting the farm, the brand’s identity is rooted in the natural environment and ongoing biodiversity conservation efforts, with labels featuring pen and ink drawings by wildlife artist Zakkie Eloff. As one of original key brands in the Boekenhoutskloof portfolio, Porcupine Ridge is benchmarked on over-delivery for its accessible price point compared to the premium wines in the portfolio, and has achieved “household brand” status through its focus on food pairing and casual dining, particularly via the popular annual Pizzeria Challenge in South Africa. The Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah, in particular, have become global favourites.
