Sunday Sips: Celebrating Women Winemakers with Aslina's Ndubs Collection
Introduction
Sunday is the perfect day to slow down, savor something special, and discover wines with stories worth telling. This week, we're celebrating one of South Africa's most inspiring winemakers—Ntsiki Biyela—and her exceptional Ndubs collection from Aslina Wines.
As South Africa's first Black female winemaker, Ntsiki has crafted wines that beautifully express the terroir of Stellenbosch and the Western Cape while honoring her heritage and vision. The Ndubs range (named after her nickname) showcases her masterful blending skills across three stunning expressions.
Plus, enjoy free shipping on 6 bottles or more—the perfect opportunity to explore the complete Ndubs trio!
The Ndubs Collection: Three Expressions, One Vision
2025 Aslina Ndubs White Blend, Western Cape, South Africa
This vibrant white blend opens with citrus blossom, green apple, and a hint of tropical fruit. Crisp acidity and a mineral backbone make it incredibly food-friendly.
Perfect Pairing: Sunday brunch with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and capers on a toasted bagel. The wine's brightness cuts through the richness beautifully.
2025 Aslina Ndubs Rosé, Stellenbosch, South Africa
Delicate strawberry, watermelon, and white peach notes dance on the palate with refreshing acidity and a dry, elegant finish.
Perfect Pairing: Grilled shrimp tacos with mango salsa and cilantro lime crema—a Sunday afternoon favorite that matches the wine's fruit-forward character.
2025 Aslina Ndubs Red Blend, Western Cape, South Africa
Rich dark fruit, subtle spice, and velvety tannins create a red blend that's both approachable and complex. Notes of blackberry, plum, and a whisper of oak.
Perfect Pairing: Slow-roasted lamb shoulder with rosemary and garlic, served with roasted root vegetables—a Sunday supper that honors the wine's depth and structure.
Why Sundays Call for Special Wines
Sunday is more than just the end of the weekend—it's an opportunity to be intentional about what we drink and why. Supporting diverse producers like Ntsiki Biyela means investing in quality, innovation, and representation in the wine industry.
The Ndubs collection represents everything we value at The Wine Concierge: exceptional quality, compelling stories, and wines that spark conversation around the table.
