Q: WHO IS DOUGLAS GREEN?
A: Douglas Green of Paarl is recognised as South Africa's first true wine negociant, a business model he had come across while studying and working in the wine industry in France. Instead of the traditional philosophy of regionality, Douglas Green somewhat unconventionally began sourcing grapes from far and wide throughout the Cape winelands. This approach afforded him the flexibility to develop distinctive styles. Before long, Douglas Green had established a solid reputation for the great quality and value of his distinctive signature style wines.

Q: WHERE IS DOUGLAS GREEN?
A: Should you seek the home of Douglas Green in the Cape, it is not a farm you will find. Being a true negociant wine producer, we source grapes from vineyards across the Cape winelands and our wine is made in six appointed cellars. The production headquarters of brand owners DGB (Pty) Ltd are situated in Wellington. It is here that Douglas Green wines are bottled and distributed to the local and international market.

Q: CAN I VISIT DOUGLAS GREEN?
A: The recently completed VIP visitor centre at Douglas Green's production headquarters in Wellington is not yet equipped to welcome public visitors. Visits for trade and press are by invitation or appointment. In the continuation of our
investment and upgrade we plan to welcome visitors in the near future.

Q: WHO OWNS DOUGLAS GREEN?
A: Douglas Green is owned by DGB (Pty) Ltd, one of South Africa's largest independent wine producers and distributors.

Q: WHERE ARE DOUGLAS GREEN WINES SOLD?
A: Douglas Green wines are sold in hotels, restaurants, supermarkets and liquor retail outlets in more than 50 countries internationally. Please see our International Agent Network for a full list of countries where Douglas Green wines are represented or contact us for further information.

Q: HOW LONG DO DOUGLAS GREEN WINES LAST?
A: Douglas Green's signature style is bold, fruity and deliciously drinkable straight off the shelf. Our white wines are best enjoyed in the freshness of youth. Our red wines are smooth and juicy with friendly tannins allowing early accessibility yet with a typical structure to develop interesting complexity for between three and five years.
