The Juno Wine Company was
founded in 2004 by unifying the talents of a
highly innovative and energetic team: owners
Johan du Toit, Oliver Kirsten and Pieter
Kritzinger, the masterful skill of distinguished
winemaker Newald Marais and the peerless talents
of artist Tertia du Toit. Each member of the team
brings their unique strengths to the affair,
romancing wine lovers with their new range of
full-bodied wines, while bringing a flirtatious
mystique and voluptuous value to the traditional
wine industry.
Juno
uses a playful blend of Newald’s extensive
experience and winemaking skills
and Tertia’s beautiful art to create
a daring and ambitious brand that brings playful
sensuality, art and fine wine into everyday life.
Comparing
wine and the art of winemaking to a beautiful
woman is a timeless analogy. The Juno Wine Company
enhances this sentiment by taking its inspiration
from its namesake, the Roman goddess Juno, adored
protector of women and feminine sensuality. In
this spirit, the Juno Wine Company have dedicated
their wines to the unsung heroines of the harvest,
thereby paying homage to the beauty, strength and
commitment of all Cape Maidens past and present.
This
admiration and respect are carried through to the
exquisite and unique labels specially designed for
each Cape Maidens wine. Tertia du Toit, renowned
local artist and a Cape Maiden in her own right,
translates passion and creativity into the
distinct, eye-catching labels on each bottle.
According to du Toit, the labels create an
integrated visual meeting between the
predominantly male winemaking traditions and the
sensual nature of wine itself. In defiance of the
mundane, every Juno label is a vibrant canvas,
indelibly marrying the art of winemaking with the
art of painting in a timeless love affair. The
labels succinctly express a richer approach to
life in the desire to savor each sip every day.
