Black Elephant Vintners
Black Elephant Vintners is a South African wine brand known for its playful and unconventional approach to winemaking. Based in Franschhoek, the winery was founded by Kevin Swart, Raymond Ndlovu, and Jacques Wentzel. The name "Black Elephant" is a combination of Swart ("black" in Afrikaans) and Ndlovu (which means "elephant" in Zulu), with Jacques being the vintner.
