01 / The Story
BEFORE IT WAS
BEFORE IT WAS
A WINE,
IT WAS
A MOMENT
It’s 1928. Alvi van der Merwe, representing Western Province Country, becomes the first player to score a try against the touring All Blacks on African soil; a defining moment in South African rugby history.
He goes on to earn Springbok cap number 221 during the 1931–32 tour of Britain and Ireland.
It was his moment of greatness. And the number continues to carry his legacy forward.
Today, it lives on in every glass of 221: wines inspired by rugby, made for every story worth sharing.Discover the 221 Range →

After winning the rugby lottery by being eligible to purchase match day tickets, one of my most memorable Springbok rugby memories happened on the 7th of September 2024, when our boys defeated New Zealand 18-12 in a nail bitting battle. The atmosphere and gees in the stadium was electric and once the final whistle blew the stadium erupted with cheer and celebrations.

Most definitely my son's first ever live game at Newlands. He was only 3 years old. It was really special. He is 11years old now and we go to many matches together. He is a very passionate Stormers and Springbok supporter. I enlarged this pic, framed it and it's up in my braai area
