Celebrating the Legacy
The South African Lipizzaners display the harmonious connection between a horse and their rider through carefully choreographed routines set to music. The performance centre at Mistico Equestrian Centre is one of a few places worldwide where this can still be seen.
The Lipizzaners are a Non-Profit Organisation; the tireless efforts of its supporters are what keeps the 70 plus year legacy of the Lipizzaner horse in South Africa alive.
It was these very efforts that led to the creation of the Legacy Wines collection, a collection of six South African wines to aid in the future of the South African Lipizzaners.
The Legacy Wine collection boasts an impressive collection of six wines from farms such as Kanu Wines, Boland Kelders, Anura Wines, and Allée Bleue, consisting of two white wines, a rosé and three red wines ensuring that there is something for everyone to enjoy.
The collection boasts an extensive list of appellation areas, allowing you to enjoy wines from all of South Africa’s award-winning vineyards in a range of geographical areas.
Each wine has been named in honour of one of the six founding stallions used to establish the Lipizzan breed. During the 16th century the stallions Conversano, Favory, Maestoso, Neapolitano, Pluto and Siglavy contributed their traits such as strength, endurance, and courage leading to the South African Lipizzaner legacy we know today.
