Cape Cru

Cape Cru Amsterdam is the initiative of four renowned wine importers specialized in South African wines. WineMatters, Smaragd Wijnen, Wijnkooperij de Lange and Benier Global Wines all share the same fondness for discovering unique South African wines. Over the years, they’ve put together an impressive portfolio of the ‘best of the best’ produced there. Based on countless trips to the vast wine region, the group really knows how to locate up-and-coming talents. Some long-lasting friendships have come out of these trips, but more importantly – have resulted in some of the rarest wines being imported to the Netherlands. In May, these top vintners South African viticulture will be here in Amsterdam to share their knowledge with us. Exhibitors will include the winemakers from The Sadie Family Wines, Alheit Vineyards, Mullineux Family Wines and David & Nadia.
