The mythical bird of promise

If the bird’s shadow
touches your crop…

The name Kanu comes from a legend told by an old Xhosa man raised on the Goedgeloof farm. Day after day he spoke of a mythical bird flying over the land — and of the promise it carried: that where its shadow fell, the harvest would be bountiful.

With the name comes the Kanu Promise. Every wine we make, at every price point, is made to deliver on quality and flavour.
