An off-dry white wine crafted in collaboration with the Zulu Royal Family, offering a crisp and approachable profile. On the nose, it displays bright, expressive aromas of ripe apple, pear, green fig, and tropical fruits like pineapple and passion fruit. The palate is medium-bodied and well-balanced, matching vibrant, refreshing acidity with a subtle, lingering sweetness that leads to a clean finish. This versatile profile makes it an excellent choice for sipping on its own or pairing alongside light salads, poultry, seafood, and fresh pasta dishes. 

Bayede means “Hail to the King” in Zulu and it is the only wine brand owned by the Zulu nation. As with the rich Zulu history of successive kings, the Bayede! Royal brand endures beyond generations. The brand is a living legacy, a tangible product reflecting royalty, culture, and history. Bayede provides employment to women in the community who did not have the opportunity to obtain education, but who are masters in the Zulu tradition of beading. These beads proudly adorn the Bayede “Prince” and reserve wines. Bayede is based on the purpose of providing employment opportunities, not only providing sustainable jobs but also empowering people through skills transfer and capacity building. A range of diversified products are developed, using labor mainly from local communities and established community projects in essence to battle unemployment in South Africa.
