Survived a global pandemic

With the closing of physical shops and alcohol sales being banned (erratically), online shops for wineries were suddenly a necessity, and our CellarDirect system (launched 2019) managed to get over 70 online shops set up and running in record time. These shops and our own online shop saw unprecedented sales during COVID, which was followed by the madness of trying to deliver thousands of orders everywhere in South Africa. There is not a winery in the country who does not have some kind of extreme story to tell of that crazy time.
