Uncompromised sparkling wine, free from alcohol.

Robertson Chardonnay, aged on the fine lees for up to a hundred days, then gently de-alcoholised by vacuum distillation over 30 hours. No heat, no shortcuts: the structure and aromatics stay in the glass.

Works that define African art, on bottles for the present.

Residency's creative soul is African art.

Each edition features carefully reproduced artworks by the artists who helped shape the story of African art, selected by our Chief Curator & Cultural Director, Elana Brundyn, founding CEO of Norval Foundation and an inaugural director at Zeitz MOCAA.

Each edition is numbered, limited, and gone when it's gone.
