The Inspiration

Sparkling wine doesn't have to follow the rules. Crafted from old-vine Cinsaut planted in 1991 on the Bottelary Hills, this naturally sparkling Pét-Nat is bottled before fermentation is complete, allowing nature to create its lively bubbles without intervention. Unfiltered and full of energy, it embraces the beautiful unpredictability that makes every bottle unique. Playful yet thoughtfully made, this is a wine for celebrating the everyday. Vibrant, refreshing and effortlessly drinkable, it captures the free-spirited philosophy behind Rebel Rebel - proving that some of the most exciting wines are the ones that refuse to fit neatly into tradition.

About Rebel Rebel

Rebels to the roots

Rebels to the roots. Independent female-owned and female-made, Rebel Rebel is the project of winemaker Kayleigh Hattingh, born in the chaos of the 2020 vintage to produce premium minimal-intervention wines from site-specific vineyards perched on the slopes of the Bottelary Hills in Stellenbosch. Kayleigh's approach is uncompromising: the wines are made naturally, with no alterations or adjustments. Just pure terroir. From her flagship Syrah and Old Vine Colombar to her Méthode Ancestrale Verdelho and Cinsaut Pet-Nats, every bottle is a direct expression of the vineyard and the vintage. Nothing added, nothing taken away. Rebel Rebel represents a new generation of South African winemaking that refuses to play by conventional rules. Kayleigh's talent and fearlessness have quickly established the brand as one to watch, proving that great wine doesn't need manipulation. It needs a winemaker brave enough to step back and let the land speak for itself.
