Thandi Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
![]() |
Established in Elgin in 1995, Thandi – a Xhosa word meaning ‘nurturing love’ – is a wine that niches on quality, spawned the Fairtrade trend, and helps to uplift and empower previously disadvantaged people.
Already synonymous with excellent quality, Thandi also advocates ethical trading and social transformation. The community is actively involved at all stages during the winemaking process, from working in the vineyards to producing the award-winning wines. the company of wine people™, one of South Africa’s leading wine exporters and producers, is playing a vital role in terms of mentorship and skills transfer on the Thandi project.
Revered for its refined elegance, Thandi’s secret to success is not the fact that good taste is a constant ingredient, but rather that the brand helps create wealth and uplifts previously disadvantaged people. Profits and Fairtrade premiums are ploughed back into various upliftment initiatives such as a crèche for farm worker’s children and basic adult education.
In 2003, Thandi became the first wine brand in the world to receive Fairtrade accreditation. No longer taking baby steps, Thandi is instead growing in leaps and bounds, gaining international acclaim and firmly establishing itself as a leading empowerment wine brand.
