Grapes were hand-harvested in the early morning while still cool, then whole-bunch pressed. The juice settled naturally in stainless steel for 24 hours without sulfur, before being transferred to seasoned barrels to ferment with native yeasts. The wine matured for 10 months in oak, with minimal handling, gentle filtration, and a small sulfur addition at bottling.
“OG” stands for “Original Gangster,” a term born from gang culture
that has come to signify someone authentic, exceptional, and
foundational. In the context of South African wine, Chenin Blanc is the
OG varietal—versatile, resilient, and deeply rooted in the country’s
wine history. Its adaptability has made it a backbone of the industry,
used in everything from Cap Classique to dry whites, sweet wines, and
even some of South Africa’s finest brandies.

New Dawn Wines is the vision of Rüdger van Wyk, a trailblazing South African winemaker whose journey from the coastal town of George to Burgundy and back reflects both personal and national transformation. Inspired by his father’s unrealised dreams, forged by the discipline of competitive swimming, and shaped by a decade crafting world-class Cabernet at Stark-Condé, Rüdger founded New Dawn to break from convention and redefine South African wine on his own terms. Rooted in the country’s ancient soils and vibrant culture, New Dawn represents a bold leap forward—a movement that marries fresh perspectives with exceptional skill, creating wines that speak of heritage, ambition, and evolution. Each bottle is crafted not just for today’s tables, but for future generations, signalling that South African wine’s moment on the world stage has truly arrived.
