Cage Wine

Cage Wine is an innovative wine brand founded in South Africa’s Swartland region by Kei Sato, the first Japanese winemaker to establish himself there. The name “CAGE” carries a message woven from the elements that shaped the brand: C = Cape (the land of South Africa) / A = Adi (his mentor) / G = Gift (nature’s blessings) / E = Earth (the planet itself). These letters reflect Sato’s unwavering commitment to engaging deeply and honestly with wine—walking the vineyards, listening to the climate and soil, and capturing the raw vitality of the land in every bottle.

The lineup features a Grenache (red) and a Chenin Blanc (white), each expressing the character of Swartland with purity and intention. Both wines have earned high acclaim locally, receiving 4 stars for two consecutive years from South Africa’s leading wine authority, Platter’s Wine Guide. They are defined by crystalline fruit, delicate minerality, and a gentle yet refined structure—wines that evoke a sense of “the land’s memory” with every sip.

Cage Wine is a harmony of nature’s gifts, human craftsmanship, and the majestic landscapes of Swartland. Take your time with the glass, and let its world unfold slowly and beautifully.
