Operating as a certified B Corp and a member of 1% for the Planet, Lubanzi partners with small-scale, artisanal growers across the Swartland and Coastal Region who farm climate-resilient, dry-farmed vineyards. In the cellar, winemaking is led by low-intervention discipline: spontaneous fermentations driven by native yeasts, no chemical additions or heavy oak masking, gentle extraction, no fining, and minimal intervention to keep the wines raw, bright, and terroir-driven.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003e\"Anomalous\" is Lubanzi's fresh, modern, glou-glou reimagining of Pinotage—South Africa's signature indigenous grape crossing (Pinot Noir x Cinsault), which historically suffered from heavy oak and over-extraction. Sourced from dry-farmed, old-vine Bush Vines in the Swartland, the hand-harvested whole clusters undergo 100% carbonic maceration in stainless steel vats using indigenous ambient yeasts. This technique locks in vibrant floral lift and juicy red-fruit flavors while completely bypassing harsh tannins. Aged briefly in stainless steel and bottled unfined and gently filtered with minimal added sulfur, the 2025 vintage turns Pinotage on its head: a crunchy, low-ABV, chillable red bursting with wild berries and herbal salinity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Good Clean Fun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67598213480597,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/lubanzi-anomalous-carbonic-pinotage-2025-750ml-chillable-red-wine-bottle-12-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
