The acquisition of Survivor solidifies Van Loveren’s presence in the premium wine market and significantly expands its portfolio. With access to high-quality grapes from various regions, the winery is well-positioned to create exquisite wines that delight connoisseurs.
The Survivor wines, inspired by the extraordinary journey of a Nguni cow, are known for their high quality and numerous accolades, including five-star ratings in the Platter’s Wine Guide and honors from Tim Atkin, Mundus Vini, and IWSC. These wines perfectly complement Van Loveren’s offerings.
“We are excited to welcome Survivor into our family,” stated Bussell Retief, the Director of Van Loveren, emphasizing the significance of this acquisition for South Africa’s wine heritage.
With Pierre Wahl, the renowned winemaker from Survivor, joining the team, Van Loveren’s winemaking will be further enriched by his expertise and passion for quality.
The connection to Overhex winery allows Van Loveren to expand its infrastructure and maintain quality. This enhances production efficiency and enables a broader range of products.
The logistical proximity to bottling facilities reduces transport efforts and emissions, supporting environmentally-friendly production practices.
This acquisition marks a new beginning for Van Loveren, committed to offering top-quality wines with authentic stories.
Effective November 18, Survivor Wines officially becomes part of Van Loveren, taking over brand development to merge quality with tradition.
