After the first batch of Aphaea Wine was dreamed up and handcrafted in small batches, it was then branded by Butin. The wine is a red blend, offering a smooth, rich taste profile that features ripe, dense blackberry, with notes of chocolate and rich raspberry and a hint of wild strawberry. A creamy blueberry provides a splendid, lingering aroma, for a harmonious finish. Aphaea, the Greek goddess of agriculture and fertility, was selected as the brand’s muse. On the wine’s label, a lone, majestic tree rooted in the heart of South Africa’s Western Cape calls out, reflective of the luscious green valley from which the wine is made. Born of legend, the stately Aphaea symbolizes the history and grandeur that is deeply embedded in its origins. Post-rebrand, Aphaea Wine experienced double-digit growth, enhancing its presence and distribution across the U.S
