Why is it Special?

What makes Painted Wolf special is its “Purpose-Driven Pedigree.” A portion of every bottle sold is donated to the African Wild Dog Survival Fund, meaning you are directly contributing to the conservation of one of Africa’s most endangered carnivores. It is “Special” because it offers Authentic Swartland Character—it captures the “dusty,” spicy, and sun-drenched soul of the region in a format that is remarkably approachable. It is a wine for the “conscious connoisseur” who believes that a great bottle of wine should taste good and do good.

Tasting Notes

Nose: An inviting and complex bouquet. Expect an immediate burst of ripe plums and black cherries, followed by sophisticated layers of cracked black pepper, savoury herbs, and a subtle hint of smoky oak.

Palate: Juicy, medium-to-full-bodied, and wonderfully smooth. The palate is packed with dark berry fruit and mulberry, supported by supple, well-integrated tannins. There is a beautiful core of sweet spice and clove.

Finish: A clean and lingering finish that leaves a savoury trail of baking spices and a final, refreshing whisper of toasty vanilla.

Product details

The Den Shiraz is a flavorful, soul-stirring red that celebrates the “Social Pack” philosophy of the Painted Wolf team. Sourced from premier vineyards in Paarl and the Swartland, where the warm climate coaxes out the grape’s natural intensity, this wine is a masterclass in juicy drinkability. Matured in a combination of French, American, and Hungarian oak for approximately 10 months, it strikes a sophisticated balance between ripe dark fruit and savoury spice. It is a medium-to-full-bodied Shiraz that prioritises texture and “deliciousness,” making it an unpretentious yet deeply rewarding choice for any wine lover.

Food Pairing

The Den Shiraz is a "communal" wine, designed to be shared around a crowded table or a roaring fire. It is the ultimate companion for Spicy Lamb Potjiekos or Grilled Venison Loin with a berry reduction. Its peppery nuances and soft tannins make it a spectacular match for Smoky BBQ Ribs or a Mediterranean Platter of roasted red peppers and spicy chorizo. For a vegetarian favourite, pair it with Lentil and Mushroom Shepherd's Pie. It is also "Special" when served alongside Matured Gouda or Biltong, where the wine’s fruitiness balances the savoury salt of the snacks.
