Five friends spent years talking about making wine. Between them they carry decades of hands-on experience across the drinks industry. Made by friends, for friends. Maze is what happened when they combined everything they knew, tasted, and believed a red wine could be.
The idea is simple to state and hard to copy. The “Cape” refers to the origin of the fruit: South African grapes, grown in South African soil. The style comes from the Mediterranean, and not just in spirit. The Cape shares its climate too: warm days, cool nights, ocean air on both coasts. The same conditions that shaped the wines of Italy are at work here, producing freshness, the red fruit, and that feeling of a wine made for food at the end of a long day.

Alongside the founding partners sits a second circle: The Motley Crew, close, wine-loving friends and, in their own words, “fortunately able to enjoy the dividends.” Those dividends aren’t on a balance sheet; they’re an open invitation to tastings, called whenever the shareholders want to get everyone together and celebrate living in South Africa over a glass of something spectacular.
The Crew are our beloved lab-rats. They keep us honest as winemakers and hold us accountable to what we promised.

Maze is more than a new wine; it is a trademarked category. Distinguishable from its carbonic red fruit driven components, this style draws inspiration from the freshness and food-friendliness of Italian and Southern Rhône wines while remaining uniquely South African.
