4G Wines

About 4G Wines

4G Wines was born from a singular vision: to create the finest red wine South Africa has ever known. From the very beginning, the estate set out on an uncompromising journey where excellence is non-negotiable and every detail matters. The project officially took shape on 2 February 2009, when four visionaries came together with a shared belief that South Africa could produce a true world-class icon wine. Drawing on the Cape’s most exceptional terroirs and pairing them with Old World winemaking mastery, 4G Wines represents a fusion of heritage, innovation, and relentless ambition. This is not simply winemaking—it is the pursuit of perfection. 

Wine

At the heart of 4G Wines is the G., revered as the First Growth of the Cape. Crafted as a multi-terroir blend, each vintage honours the unique personality of the year while remaining unmistakably part of the G. lineage. Precision viticulture, strict growth management, hand-harvesting, and meticulous vinification form the foundation of every release. Barrel selection and maturation are approached with the same rigour, ensuring balance, power, and longevity.

These wines are produced in minute quantities and defined by rarity, beauty, and intensity. The results have been extraordinary: the G. 2017 ZWIZZIRŌN achieved a perfect 100-point score, while G. 2018 GOING, GOING, GONE triumphed in a blind tasting against some of the world’s most celebrated 100-point wines on the international stage. Each bottle is further elevated by bespoke labels that blend fine art with South Africa’s indigenous flora and fauna, reinforcing the idea that these wines exist at the intersection of craftsmanship and art.

Dine

4G Wines does not operate a public restaurant. The focus remains firmly on the creation of its wines, with tastings and experiences curated to reflect the exclusivity and prestige of the brand.
