Hi Matthew,
Carmen Stevens is one of South Africa’s most celebrated
winemakers. She’s a leading expert of the famous Stellenbosch
and Western Cape regions, with a mile-long list of winemaking
awards, including “South Africa’s Entrepreneur of the Year”
and “Winemaker of the Decade.”
In the course of becoming one of the best winemakers in South
Africa (and the world), she also made history as the country’s
first Black woman to graduate with a winemaking degree — and
that was just the beginning.
After more than a decade in South Africa’s wine industry,
Carmen launched the country’s first 100% Black-owned winery
with the support of Angels like you. Today she channels her
world-renowned expertise into an acclaimed collection of wines
for you to discover. This crisp Catoria Sauvignon Blanc is the
best place to start!
|
From South Africa’s first black woman winemaker — to you
“Being on my own means that I can make wines that I can
put my heart and soul in, wines that carry my
fingerprint,” Carmen says. “That’s very liberating if I
think back to how I struggled to get into this
industry.”

With you on her side, Carmen continues to write the next
chapter of South Africa’s wine story, toppling barriers
for winemakers of color like herself every opportunity
she gets and creating exquisite wines along the way.
This Sauvignon Blanc is the first of her new high-end
Catoria wines showcasing the premier Western Cape
region. For Carmen, it’s a testament to how well
Sauvignon Blanc can grow in South Africa.
To craft this crisp white wine, she uses hand-picked
grapes from rolling hillside vineyards near Cape Town.
The cool Atlantic influence here helps this Sauv Blanc
develop bright, tropical flavors and a zesty,
mouth-watering touch of citrus.

When she’s not making history or world-class wines, Carmen’s
making good on a lifelong promise to pay it forward in her own
community. With the help of Angel funding, Carmen’s able to
change lives by bringing meals to school children around
Stellenbosch.
Thanks to your support, her ‘Carmen’s Kids’ project has
provided over 1.3 million meals and counting. Follow Carmen on
her winemaker page to learn more about ‘Carmen’s Kids’ and for
updates straight from the icon herself.
