As South African-Americans, our mission is to introduce you to the little known secret that our homeland is one of the top eight wine producing regions in the world. Our private label, the House of Henkel, is part of Fumana International’s family-operated and women-owned business, based in Georgia in the USA, which has become a renowned importer and distributor of fine South African wines. We are loved by the market for our exclusive access to artisanal, family-owned fine wine brands. You simply won’t find them anywhere else in the USA!
What sets us apart is that we know each winemaker personally and have walked the soil of every vineyard. We have sat across from world-renowned winemakers who employ hundreds of locals from their communities who ethically and sustainably produce limited edition wines that are brought to the world market. We take pride in our strong relationships with South Africa’s wine farmers and the awards that some of their wines have won, fueling our passion to import the best wine for every taste. Hence our latest offering, our private label, the House of Henkel!
Our exclusive collections offer our clients quality that’s guaranteed, but also a price you can afford. Whether you’re enjoying our wines at your dining room table with dinner guests, at your fine establishment where you keep the best wine on the menu for your customers, or at your business where you sell high-end wines, you can rest assured that House of Henkel Wine will exceed your expectations.

At House of Henkel, we believe that wine is one of the most civilized and natural pleasures in the world. As Ernest Hemingway once said,
“Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.”
We strive to bring the best South African wines to your doorstep, so that you can enjoy the bottled poetry that is wine from the comfort of your own home. Our wines are a true reflection of the beauty and diversity of South Africa, and we hope that they will transport you to the exotic vineyards of our homeland with every sip
