St Mary's School Wine Collection - Cinsault

The Wines:

Cinsault 2024

Juicy, vibrant and made for sharing.

Cinsault is the kind of red that doesn’t need an occasion. It’s lighter and fresher than your traditional big red, making it just as comfortable around the braai as it is alongside a long lunch or an easy dinner with friends.

Made by Miles Mossop from Swartland fruit, it’s a wonderfully approachable wine with plenty of character.

Serve it slightly chilled on a warm day, open it around the dinner table, or keep a few bottles ready for when friends arrive.

Chenin Blanc 2026

Fresh, expressive and unmistakably South African.

Chenin Blanc is one of the Cape’s great varieties, and this is a bottle made for those uncomplicated moments that somehow turn into the memorable ones.

Made by Miles Mossop from Stellenbosch fruit, it’s a versatile white that belongs in an ice bucket on a sunny afternoon, alongside a long lunch, or simply opened at the end of the day.

Bright, refreshing and seriously easy to enjoy.

Both wines carry the St Mary’s story on the back label, because these bottles are about more than what’s inside them.

More Than 135 Years of St Mary’s:

St Mary’s School, Waverley was established in 1888 and is Johannesburg’s oldest school.

From its beginnings more than 135 years ago, St Mary’s has grown into one of South Africa’s leading independent schools for girls, while remaining deeply rooted in its Anglican heritage and the values that have shaped generations of St Mary’s girls.

Today, the school welcomes girls from Grade 0 through to matric, while Little Saints pre-primary welcomes both boys and girls in Grades 000 and 00.

At the heart of the school are three simple values:

Love. Community. Integrity.

This collection celebrates that history, the families who are part of St Mary’s today, and the generations still to come.

It’s a little piece of St Mary’s to open, share and enjoy.
