Description
Aslina Wines was founded by Ntsiki Biyela who is the Winemaker and Director of the company in 2016. Biyela named Aslina Wines in honour of her late grandmother, Aslina. She grew up in Mahlabathini, a rural village in KwaZulu Natal, where she matriculated from high school in 1996. Having spent a year as a domestic worker, she was awarded a scholarship through South African Airways to study winemaking at the University of Stellenbosch in 1999. She graduated in 2003 with a BSc in Agriculture (Viticulture and Oenology) and joined Stellekaya, a boutique winery, as their Winemaker in 2004. We have a ranged of 6 premium wines; a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, skin-contact Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Umsasane (Bordeaux-style blend) and our MCC. We have recently opened our tasting room at Unit 1, Ground Floor, Building 4, Alberto Drive, Devonbosch Bottelary Road, Stellenbosch, 7605 South Africa.
