Indaba Merlot

Indaba is a gateway to a sunny state of mind. Fresh, everyday, and easy-drinking, with a quality that is unbeatable. Indaba is the Zulu word for ‘a meeting of the minds’; the wine label was created as a celebration of the democratisation in South Africa.

A commitment to social responsibility has always been a key part of the Indaba philosophy, with a portion of the proceeds from the wine’s global sales funding the Indaba Foundation, under which Indaba is taking its long-standing commitment to education a step further by shifting its focus to the crucial area of early childhood development. The foundation provides Montessori teacher training to support children living in vulnerable conditions in the South African Winelands, as well as providing learning materials and educational infrastructure to schools established for wineland worker’s children.
