DAVID FROST AND WINES

         South African golfing icon David Frost has always had a passion for fine wine and the great game of golf. For him, the two pursuits ­ creating wine and competing in golf ­ are interlinked. They both present challenges, hurdles, excitement and reward. In fact, it was through picking grapes on his family's wine farm near Stellenbosch that the young David had earned enough pocket money to play golf, launching him on his successful international career.
His father's vineyard was the first place he hit balls and the pocket money he made from picking grapes, funded his first set of clubs and an on going supply of balls. Frost bought his own 300 acre vineyard in 1994 in the Paarl wine region and with the help of well known Napa winemaker Jason Fisher, produced his first 3,000 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon in 1997. With a focus on quality, not quantity the wine drew quick appreciation including a rating of 90 plus in a subsequent Wine Spectator review. This encouraged the production of additional varieties.
Fermented in stainless steel tanks and matured in small French oak barrels sourced from selected coopers, the David Frost Wine Estate range now comprises an exceptional range of fine, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Par Excellence (traditional red blend) and Shiraz. Taste them, you'll love them all!
