A Journey to Our Origins in Every Sip

Primordial Soup Red Blend is a celebration of South Africa’s ancient soils and bold winemaking heritage. Inspired by the Western Cape’s Pinnacle Point, where some of humankind’s earliest ancestors once walked, this wine embodies the spirit of survival, evolution, and endless discovery.

Tasting Notes

Rich and bold, Primordial Soup Red is packed with “juicy life, red in tooth and claw.” This deep crimson blend offers a nose of creamy summer pudding, with scents of ripe berries and hints of spice. On the palate, vibrant layers of crushed cherries are met with a cranberry tang and a smooth, almost creamy texture that lingers. It’s an accessible yet complex wine, balancing bright fruit with a subtle edge—an ideal introduction to South Africa’s red blends.

Perfect Serve

Primordial Soup Red’s versatility makes it a fantastic match for a range of dishes: from steak and chips to a hearty Sunday roast, bangers and mash, or a flavourful beef stir-fry. Its berry-rich profile and hint of spice also make it a great companion to comforting, savoury meals with a touch of rustic flair.

Craftsmanship and Inspiration

This red blend brings together classical cultivars from the Western Cape in a richly layered expression, without the limitation of single-varietal labelling. Grapes are carefully chosen to reflect the Western Cape’s terroir, creating a robust yet accessible wine. Inspired by the early forms of life drawn by German naturalist Ernst Haeckel, Primordial Soup’s label art connects to themes of Darwinism, evolution, and the creative forces that shape our world.

Primordial Soup Red is more than a wine; it’s a story of origins, evolution, and the timeless forces of nature. Enjoy it as a bold introduction to the dynamic wines of South Africa.
