The Inspiration
Rebel Rebel turns to Verdelho, a Portuguese variety that thrives in the Cape, to create a naturally sparkling Pét-Nat that's bursting with sunshine. Bottled before fermentation is complete, the wine develops its gentle sparkle naturally, preserving the vibrant tropical fruit and refreshing character that make Verdelho so distinctive.
Think of it as sunshine in a glass. Bright, lively and irresistibly easy to enjoy, this Pét-Nat is made for long summer lunches, beach days and celebrations that don't need a special occasion. It's a joyful reminder that great wine doesn't have to be complicated - it just has to make you smile.
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.
