Former SA Rugby Player Tendai `Beast` Mtawarira Launches The Beast Wine Collection
Former SA Rugby Player Tendai `Beast` Mtawarira Launches The Beast Wine Collection. Former South African Rugby player Tendai `Beast` Mtawarira has announced the launch of his wine brand called ‘The Beast Wine Collection’. He says that his love for wine is what led him to venture into the business after his retirement from a successful Rugby career.
He said in a statement, “My life has been seasoned with a multitude of blessings along with pure resilience and passion, and it is a great privilege to be able to share my secret love for wine. From all my travels, I can confirm that wines of South African origin provide distinct quality and an overall pleasant tasting experience. All our wines are produced in an ecologically fair trade and sustainable manner. At Beast Wine, we always strive for excellence, excellence that I invite you to enjoy solo or with good company.”
During the past year, Beast devoted himself to understanding the wine industry and diligently creating a collection of wines with a vision of taking them to the world. He made numerous visits to the vineyards, in order to bring his customers these excellent wines that mirror Beast’s career on the rugby field. This is aligned with SMCG‘s mission of ensuring that wines of South Africa are given their rightful place amongst top wine makers in the world with multiple, unique and complex “terroirs”.
It is from this diversity that Beast chose his four wines, tasting many wines in the process, to choose the best ones while sharing and comparing notes with the different winemakers. These four different types of wine, from four different regions (Franschhoek, Paarl/Stellenbosch, Cape Point and Walker Bay) are an introduction to the excellence of South African wines. Beast wants to ensure that whether his customers are a lovers of red, white, bubbly or rosé wine – there is something for everyone.
