Tim's journey into winemaking began with a pivotal decision outlined in a succinct statement on his website's 'About Me' page: "One day I decided that what I really wanted to do with my life was make wine." His exploration culminated in crafting his inaugural vintage in 2014. Presently, Tim tends to vineyards situated in the Swartland (Qaisar and Chad) and Paarl (Mothership). Particularly noteworthy is Mothership, a plot he personally cultivates, adhering to biodynamic and Fukuoka methodologies, with plans for transitioning to fully biodynamic agriculture underway. Qaisar operates under organic farming practices, while Chad hails from a conventional vineyard. Embracing a philosophy of minimal intervention, Tim crafts his wines in a meticulously maintained cellar located in Cape Town, employing traditional techniques such as basket pressing and spontaneous fermentations within large oak vats ranging from 500 to 2000 litres.
Tim Martin's vineyards are based in the Helderberg mountain range in the Swartland. With an average vine age of 44 years, the vines are some of the oldest in the area - and every one of them is grown sustainably.
Red fruits dominate on the nose of this 100% Mourvèdre wine, as well as floral notes with some musk spice. These characters carry through onto the palate, which demonstrates great balance and a long finish.

New & Exciting
There are very few wine shops as good as Butlers, years of buying wines from them. There is always something new & exciting to pick out off the shelves and if you’re in any doubt the advice is considered and insightful.

Brilliant Butlers!
Words can't express the brilliance of Butlers or the thoughtfulness, expertise and compassion of their team! Whilst packing up to move internationally a friend died and I needed to organise an emergency case of something luscious to support the wake. Not only did their wonderful team organise and deliver within an incredibly tight deadline they drafted a message for me too which I approved. Wonderful!!

Delightful, delicious, delectable
As a lockdown convert, I'm an online customer, but the clear website, with interesting blogs and some comprehensive descriptions, really helps to steer you. Great advice when needed and great service too.

Sourcing Stock
Henry and Team managed to locate some difficult to find American wine which they kindly offered and I gratefully accepted. They truly differentiate by being able to surprise by sourcing stock very much outside the run of the mill.

Great Wine/Spirit shop with knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff
This was my second visit to Butlers Wine Cellar and on both occasions the service has been wonderful. The young lady assisted me and my wife on a number of purchases of wine and sherry and seemed very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. Having tasted them she was spot on with her comments on each bottle. I would highly recommend anyone to use this shop.
