House of Mandela Range
A wine range that celebrates South Africa's rich heritage
The House of Mandela wines that are produced at D’Aria are best appreciated when shared with others, as these wines are inspired by strong family values and a sense of community.
Thembu Tribute
Our wines find their inspiration in the Thembu Clan – noble, respected, trusted. People with a deep appreciation of nature and their land. These attributes, alongside a tradition of warmth and conviviality, are embodied in our delightfully accessible Thembu Collection – an inspired choice.
Phumla
The evocative isiXhosa word meaning ‘rest’, is also the name of Evelyn and Nelson Mandela’s fourth and last-born child. On giving birth to her beautiful baby girl, Evelyn declared: “now I can rest…”

King Vusani
Vusani was the name of our ancestral King Ngubengcuka, colloquially meaning ‘let the Thembu nation rise’ – through strong family values – discipline, courage, love and a sense of community. It is these strong-held traditions that have led us to create a range of wines that embody such important values. They are best appreciated when people come together and share stories and learn lessons from those who have travelled the road of life before them.
