Named after a wandering dog, ‘Lubanzi’ that accompanied founders Walker Brown and Charles Brain, on a 100 mile hike along the South African coast, three years before they even founded the winery when they were exchange students. As Americans they knew they would need local knowledge in order to be successful so immediately tapped a winemaker with expertise in Swartland - Trizanne Barnard.

Trizanne hails from the small surf village of Kommetjie ('cawma-key') on the cape's southern peninsula. She is an excellent mother, winemaker, and surfer. Trizanne worked vintages in Australia, France & Portugal before bringing her talents back home to South Africa. They are committed to sustainability and are a certified 1% For The Planet business. They've also pledged 50% of their net profits to the Pebbles Project, an NGO that works with the low-income families who live and work on South Africa's wine farms.
