    Lubanzi Wine in a Can – Terrifically Tasty

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: July 15, 2019 Last Updated: May 25, 2021

    Fresh and delicious wines perfect for the canned format, the Lubanzi Red Blend and Lubanzi Chenin Blanc from South Africa.

    Lubanzi Wine in a Can – Terrifically Tasty

    Samples submitted for review. Both wines have an SRP of $8 per 375ml can (half a traditional 750ml bottle) and can be found for as low as $6.50 per can or $12 for a bottle. Imported by Cape Venture.

    First up is the Lubanzi Red, a blend of 42% Shiraz, 34% Cinsault, 15% Mourvedre and 9% Grenache from W.O. Coastal Region, South Africa. The wine is vegan friendly and has just 2 g/L of residual sugar.

    Lubanzi Red Blend – Terrifically Tasty

    From the can:

    Named for a wandering dog who lead us 6 days & 100 miles hiking across South Africa's wild coast and created by two young travelers to share a love for South Africa & grow the future of families living & working on South Africa's wine farms.

    We hope our wine helps you make a home in the newest places & an adventure out of the home you know by heart.

    50% of profits back to the hands that made it.

    13.5% Alcohol

    The 2018 Lubanzi Red Blend wine in a can begins with pleasing aromas of red and black cherry, strawberry and cranberry with spice notes and a touch earthiness. Taking a sip reveals a smooth, medium-bodied, tasty wine with lots of sweet, juicy fruit plus nicely integrated spice notes and hints of chocolate. It's a light, fresh style of Rhone blend that's quite enjoyable and it fits the can format perfectly. The touch of earthiness from the nose continues and leads into the dry, long, tart, mouthwatering finish. Bulk Buy!

    Next up is the Lubanzi Chenin Blanc, 100% Chenin Blanc from W.O. Swartland, South Africa. This wine is also vegan friendly and has just 2 g/L of residual sugar. It is aged on the lees for 3-6 months and has 12.5% alcohol.

    Lubanzi Chenin Blanc – Terrifically Tasty

    The 2018 Lubanzi Chenin Blanc wine in a can begins with pleasing aromas of pear, touches of tropical fruit and a little fresh baked bread. This is terribly refreshing stuff. The light-bodied wine features a nice mouthfeel and viscosity, bright acidity and good depth of flavor on the yummy peach, citrus and green apple fruit. Touches of spice lead into the long, dry, finish of long-lasting tart fruit.
