Ex Animo Wine Co.

We are David (originally from Australia) and Jeannette (born and bred SA) Clarke; both qualified sommeliers with decades of international wine experience who are passionate about food and wine. We work with and represent an exclusive group of producers who are passionate about vineyards and aspire to reflect them in the cellar. Ex Animo is both a wine distributor and a wine merchant. From 2014 to 2020 Ex Animo was strictly a wholesale distribution business, supplying high-end retail and fine dining restaurants. In the second half of 2020 we acquired a retail liquor licence, this has since enabled us to set up an online wine store and organise events such as tastings, dinners and seminars. Imports were added in 2022. Ex Animo means “from the heart” in Latin and is at the centre of everything we do. We believe passion and the artistry that accompanies it are a huge part of what separates good producers from the great.
