DonkiesbaaiMixed Reds Case

About

Far up the west coast, north of Lambertsbay but south of Doringbaai lies an open bay of white sand strewn with black mussels and kelp, with the icy waters of the Atlantic beating the shore. This is Donkiesbaai, where the Engelbrecht family has holidayed for four generations. The wine was made with the cuisine of the west coast in mind. Crayfish, Harders, and a cold glass of wine are part of the history that is Donkiesbaai.
