Wine has been produced in Greece for well over 4000 years.  Greece's history in winemaking is a testament to the terroir and to its people.  The varied soils, microclimates, and many indigenous grape varietals make for exceptional wine regions throughout Greece.  The wines in our portfolio also reflect the people of Greece.  Therefore, you will find white wines that are sharp, direct, and acidic.  Many of our red wines are earthy and complex-again, a combination of the terroir and the wine's producer.  Our dessert wines possess a delicate balance.  While sweet, they don't behave like an over affectionate aunt who hasn't seen you in years.

“Wine can of their wits the wise beguile,

Make the sage frolic, and the serious smile."

Homer, "Odyssey"  

Audacia is situated in what is known as “The Golden Triangle” of Stellenbosch, a unique patch of land at the foot of the majestic Helderberg Mountains.  It is special because it is where some of South Africa's best red wines are grown and made.  It is for this reason that the vineyards are exclusively planted to red grape varieties.

With no small matter of pride, Audacia’s label depicts a wooden basket press. It’s an homage to the pioneering Kosie Louw who borrowed the grape press from his father to make the first wines on the farm. The name Audacia is synonymous with a spirit of adventure, boldness, being brave and unrestrained.  These characteristics are epitomised in both the viticulture and winemaking on this special Stellenbosch property.
