Angus Paul Wines

Angus Paul Wines is a young, dynamic South African winery founded by winemaker Angus Paul, with its first vintage released in 2020. The cellar is based at Karibib Wine Craft in Stellenbosch, working with vineyards across the Western Cape. 

Angus focuses on South Africa’s heritage grape varieties, particularly Chenin Blanc, Pinotage and Cinsault. Winemaking is minimal-intervention, relying on spontaneous fermentation, whole-bunch techniques, neutral oak, and minimal sulphur to let the vineyards express themselves. Old vines from celebrated Stellenbosch sub-regoins (Bottelary, Polkadraai Hills, Helderberg, and Firgrove) form the backbone of the range, with site expression and terroir at the heart of each wine. 

His philosophy emphasizes balance, purity, and respect for nature, resulting in wines that are vibrant, honest, and deeply connected to their origins, embodying his commitment to thoughtful winemaking.

Critics have praised the wines for authenticity, freshness, and a sense of place. He was shortlisted as one of the five Rising Stars in Tim Atkin’s MW recent South African Report with scores for his wines between 93 and 95.
