M'hudi Wines

The name M’hudi (pronounced moody) is derived from the Setswana word, meaning “harvester”. It is also the name given to the heroine of a great African story. In the story, M’hudi flees her war-ravaged village in search of a new beginning. M’hudi story is one of courage, determination against seemingly impossible odds and the relentless pursuit of one’s dreams and aspirations and it is the story of South Africa today.

The vineyards are based on one of the few black owned farms situated in the Cape wine lands area of the scenic Stellenbosch, and is wholly owned and managed by our family.

M'hudi features a tasting room facility which has just opened up. We also have a function and meeting venue. Lunch/braai and wine is available. Booking is essential for this.

Jaco, Johrné en Lienka, oftewel die trio ddisselblom is hier!

 

Sedert dié bekroonde trio se ontstaan in 2002 en die onvergeetlike treffers Nikotien kafeïen, Goud en marog en Kiepie en Kandas, het elkeen van die lede ook as solokunstenaars bekendheid verwerf: Johrné onder meer as gewilde en bedrywige compère; Lienka as solo-sangeres en Jaco as akteur, veral bekend om sy spel in Villa Rosa. Nou is die trio terug op CD. Die album dra die stempel van musikale integriteit: gesond kommersieël gerig en gepoets met briljante liedjies, meevoerende orkestrasie en vokale suiwerheid.
