Druk My Niet Wines proudly adds the Mapago Shiraz Rosé 2024 to our portfolio, a wine that embodies both strength and tranquility, drawing inspiration from a remarkable chapter in our farm’s history.
The story of Mapago is woven into the fabric of Druk My Niet’s heritage. During the Anglo-Boer War, Mapago, a valiant war horse, was more than just a companion to the Druk-My-Niet owner; he was a lifeline. Amidst the mist and danger of the northern mountains, Mapago’s instincts guided his owner and fellow soldiers to safety, a true act of courage that left an indelible mark on all who witnessed it.
In gratitude for his heroic service, Mapago was given a peaceful retirement on the farm, living out his days under Paarl’s expansive skies. Today, his resting place beneath the Manor House stands as a tribute to his bravery, visited by many who come to honour his legacy.
We invite you to experience the spirit of Mapago with each sip of our Shiraz Rosé 2024 – a wine crafted to honour the loyalty, courage, and unwavering spirit of a true hero.
Available from our online store at R140 / bottle.
