Chewbaaka CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2003
Like the noble and dignified Chewbaaka, the Cabernet is the ambassador of wines with its subtle layers of blackcurrant flavors, evolving into velvety vanilla undertones with firm lingering tannins.
CHEWBAAKA “chew-bah-caw” - The Cheetah Conservation Fund’s Ambassador Cheetah. He was rescued as a cub and raised by Dr. Laurie Marker.
Suggested food: To be enjoyed with venison, lamb stew, meat pastas or rare beef.

d' Artagnan SHIRAZ 2003
D'Artagnan, while being shy, has another side to him, like this gorgeous Shiraz. Delicately berried on the nose and palate with a little spice flavor to keep good balance in acidity and soft tannins.
D’Artagnan is one of three brothers who were the only survivors of their family. They are inseparable & very shy. Named after the three brave Musketeers, d’Artagnan is the clown prince of the three.
Suggested food: A good accompaniment to barbeued meat, light red meat dishes or ostrich, oxtail and venison.

Kanini PINOT NOIR 2003
KANINI came to the Cheetah Conservation Fund in February 2006. Because of her tiny size, she was named Kanini meaning “the little one.” Today she is growing healthy and happy.
The wine is very much like Kanini, “the little one.” An elegant wine with an up-front fruity nose and palate, full of strawberry and raspberry flavors, balanced by a firm acidity and gentle wooding.

Amani CHARDONNAY 2005
AMANI means “Peace” in Swahili
Found by a farmer in Namibia just east of Windhoek when she was one year old. Amani was taken to live at the Cheetah Conservation Fund in June 2006.
Fresh, lemony aromas and flavors combine with a delicate smokiness for a well-balanced Chardonnay with a soft finish. Similar to Amani's peaceful nature.
