Anthonij Rupert Wyne in the Franschhoek Wine Valley has perfected the art of producing wine with an uncompromising commitment to the environment accompanied by a singular dedication to innovation.

All this is personified in the estate’s Protea wine range of eight wines, created for immediate enjoyment but also with unique packaging that has been designed with the purpose of “upcycling” in mind. In this manner extraordinary attractive features can be created in and around the home after the wine has been savoured.

The award-winning estate has now taken its dedication to innovation a step further by announcing that its Protea wine range is now available with an Amorim Helix closure. This closure combines tradition with convenience since this unique, ergonomically -designed cork- and glass packaging solution is a marriage between the benefits of traditional cork with a user-friendly, re-sealable closure.

Some singular features characterise the Helix. It has a twist out cork from Amorim, the world’s biggest cork supplier, matched by a threaded bottleneck from Consol, an equally renowned glass bottle manufacturer. In this manner the Protea wine bottles can be opened and closed quite easily by hand, thus creating an airtight barrier with a simple twist of the wrist!
