House of Mandela & D’Aria Wines
Xhosa culture has a rich history of fermentation and brewing. Umqombothi is brewed according to traditional customs, which may differ slightly from region to region. The recipe is typically handed down from one generation to the next. 

The wines are not just about the contents in the bottle. They are the story of the House of Mandela, and of the rainbow nation of South Africa. Lineage and maintaining our legacy plays an important part of our story, and incorporating wine into the House of Mandela is our way of claiming who we are, where we come from and belong. It is a way of paying homage not only to our father and grandfather, but also honoring our ancestors.
