Painted Wolf Wines announces partnership with Jordan Wine Estate
Effective as a Collective
We are thrilled to announce a business partnership with Jordan Wine Estate, the Stellenbosch Kloof premium wine destination founded by Gary and Kathy Jordan, aimed at collectively making a significant and lasting impact on wildlife conservation. The implementation of the partnership will take place over the next 12 months and includes moving the production of our wines to the newly refurbished Jordan Wine Estate cellar from 2025, and opening a new Brand Home and tasting and hospitality facility for Painted Wolf Wines towards the latter part of 2025.
Friends and supporters of Painted Wolf Wines will know that our vision is to be a leading conservation wine company in the world, producing remarkable, highly desired wines to generate impactful funding for securing a sustainable future for African wild dogs, and for community-based conservation and related causes.
We approached Jordan because they have similar values and continue to achieve substantial sustainability and conservation goals. As founding members of the Bottelary Hills Renosterveld Conservancy (BHRC) they are committed to sustainable farming practices, fire management, and indigenous habitat preservation. They participate in the Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) scheme, adhere to international environmental sustainability criteria, and are founder members of the Biodiversity and Wine Initiative - a conservation partnership between the Botanical Society of South Africa, WWF-SA , and the wine industry with the objective of conservation within the Cape Floral Kingdom. Jordan Estate has long funded the Jordan Chameleon Research Bursary. In 2024 they were awarded the Bellingham Bernard Podlashuk Shiraz Trophy, celebrating excellence, innovation, creativity, sustainability, and social responsibility within the South African wine industry.
The Jordans see the partnership as “a synergy between two companies with complementary skill sets and offerings that together will create a business that will be far greater than the sum of the parts. This innovative collaboration will build on what Jeremy and Emma have created, vital for the continued benefit of wildlife and conservation.”
The partnership sets to invoke the spirit and character of the highly social African wild dog as the most effective collective hunters who work in harmony for the success of all.
