Unlike many athletes or celebrities or who lend their name to a brand, PGA TOUR player David Frost and his family have been in the wine business in South Africa for over 60 years. While busy winning over 22 tournaments worldwide and recording the PGA Tour's lowest putting total ever, his passion for wine was never far from his heart!
His father's vineyard was the first place he hit balls and the pocket money he made from picking grapes, funded his first set of clubs and an on going supply of balls. Frost bought his own 300 acre vineyard in 1994 in the Paarl wine region and with the help of well known Napa winemaker Jason Fisher, produced his first 3,000 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon in 1997. With a focus on quality, not quantity the wine drew quick appreciation including a rating of 90 plus in a recent Wine Spectator review. This encouraged the production of additional varieties.
Fermented in stainless steel tanks and matured in small French oak barrels sourced from selected coopers, the David Frost Wine Estate range now comprises an exceptional range of fine, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Par Excellence (traditional red blend) and Shiraz. Taste them, you'll love them all!
