Background: The salute “Bayede!” was shouted by King Shaka Zulu to unite the nations, and is still today used to greet His Majesty King Goodwill Zwelithini Kabhekuzulu. The Shaka Zulu brand was developed to unite the nations in an effort to create sustainable jobs. The beadwork around the neck of the bottle is made by women in rural areas. The Royal Zulu household is the beneficial endorser of this wine that represents the richness and variety in a Simple yet Elegant Style. Shaka Zulu is not just a wine, it is a reflection of 200 years of tradition and excellence.

Grape Varietal: Pinotage. The Pinotage grape was developed in 1925 by a South African viticulturist who crossed Pinot Noir and Cinsault (Hemitage). Pinotage has now become the signature South Africa grape.
