In this photo you’ll see the real-life Four Cousins standing side by side, from left to right: Neil Retief, Hennie Retief, Bussell Retief and Phillip Retief.
Just like on the Four Cousins bottle, they are standing exactly where they have always stood, side by side.
Although this has been a difficult and challenging time for us, moments like these remind us what matters most. Family. Showing up for one another. Standing together. Lifting each other when things get heavy.
The wine industry has taken a knock, and many farms, businesses and families are rebuilding after the recent floods. Your favourite Four Cousins wines will be available again soon, but for now we want to say something bigger than our own brand:
Support the wine industry. 🍷
When you see a bottle of wine, choose to buy it. Purchase online, support a local winery, visit a tasting room.
Every bottle purchased in this country helps families rebuild, supports jobs and helps keep the heart of our wine farms beating.
Together we stand. Together we rebuild.
