Tall Horse Wines - Beliebte Weine aus Südafrikas Western Cape

Tall Horse wines are produced in selected Cape Winelands wineries, where Tall Horse winemakers oversee every step of the production process from grape to finished bottle. The grapes for Tall Horses wines are carefully sourced from the finest vineyards in the Cape's finest growing areas: Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek, Wellington, Robertson, Swartland and Worcester.

The utmost care is taken to preserve the natural expression of the grapes with minimal intervention and discreet human hands. Tall Horses cheerful and lively labels with the famous giraffe motif wonderfully reflect the fruity style of the wines. Now some people may ask themselves why "Tall Horse" (big horse) and not simply "Giraffe" was chosen for the name. Well, true to its origin at the top of South Africa, this story is shrouded in legend and myth. Centuries ago, when the giraffe was still completely unknown outside Africa, the giraffe, which was also nicknamed "Big Horse" because of its extraordinary length and proportions, fascinated foreign countries to such an extent that it was often sent as a diplomatic gift to kings and chiefs in distant lands for surprise and pleasure. Some even claim that the construction of the Eiffel Tower was modelled on the unusual physique of the giraffe. The Tall Horse Winery sees many parallels between the giraffe, which once travelled the world as an attraction, and its Tall Horse wines, which now share a name. Just as the giraffe once brought joy and pleasure to foreign lands, Tall Horse wines today surprise people all over the world with a fruity, sensual safari that is in every bottle.
