We are incredibly excited to introduce Vondeling’s ONE HIT WONDER CLUB! 

One Hit Wonder as a concept began with a desire and willingness to share the more exciting, little, odd projects that we embrace in the cellar, as well as some of the components that we make individually but don’t get to share with everyone because they go straight into our Monsonia, Babiana & our other blends — to enhance their balance and complexity.

But, these components in our blends are really interesting and nuanced on their own and we wanted to share our process and these interesting projects with our legendary, loyal Wine Club members.

We intend each year to bottle one of these white and red components to give you a peek into what goes on behind closed cellar doors.

This year we’ve done a Rose (made with Mourvèdre grapes) & a Mourvèdre Red.

Mourvèdre is a key grape in all our Rhone Style Blends – specifically found in our Monsonia & Baldrick Shiraz. It’s soft, it’s juicy, and it has a nice strawberry character as well as some spice. It’s been fun starting this year with a Rose – it has a heavier style than our normal Rose and it’s got a little more structure and spice.

What’s really epic is seeing the exact same grape in our One Hit Wonder red, but slightly more extracted, a bit older, and aged in 500L barrels.

Each label is unique and designed by a local graphic designer. Camille De Villers brought the bottles to life this year with her fun, groovy, retro finish! To add to the fun, we’re pairing each One Hit Wonder Wine with a fitting One Hit Wonder!
