FOUNDING SPONSOR - Porcupine Ridge
A proud, Founding Sponsor of the Franschhoek Literary Festival, Porcupine Ridge offers a collection of delicious, everyday wines that are firm favourites on tables throughout the world. Wines that offer solid value, superb drinking and an undeniable focus on quality and true expression of varietal character.
“These wines are honest, true to type, and true to cultivar. Our winemaking philosophy has always been to follow a natural approach of no acidification or additions. The resulting wines are much more about a generous palate weight than simple primary aromatics followed by acidity.”
