Our portfolio features award-winning independent winemakers who make exceptional terroir-driven wines. Welcome to Ex Animo Wine Company, we are David and Jeannette Clarke; both qualified sommeliers with international experience who are passionate about food and wine. Our modus operandi is quite simple: work with and represent a select group of producers who are passionate about vineyards and aspir
e to reflect them in the cellar. Our aim is to get South Africans to drink better wine, thus quality “in the glass” is paramount. While the principal criterion is deliciousness, we also place very high importance on terroir and sympathetic production methods. Ex animo means “from the heart” in Latin, we believe this expresses one of the most crucial elements in determining quality. Delicious wines and passionate producers are only one part of the credo at Ex Animo Wine Company. Without on-going commitments to service, knowledge and education, much of the energy invested in each bottle both from the vineyard and by those who tend it has the potential to be wasted. To maximise the enjoyment of each bottle, we are constantly searching for ways to improve our service delivery, product knowledge and investment in this fantastic industry.

Thank you, , for the lovely article: "Trizanne Barnard's 2023s are of the most exciting releases this year. Headlining her winemaking prowess is the benchmark Sondagskloof White and Elim Syrah. These wines continue to impress, showing great typicity of place. They’re limited as always so dig in while you can.
The Sondagskloof White 2023 is a unique expression of Sauvignon Blanc with its hallmark finish that is persistent, textured and seemingly weightless. Adding increased complexity and detail, the genius of using 50% skin contact is a game-changing winemaking technique. We have no doubt this will age gracefully for at least a decade.
If you’re a Syrah nut, like we are, this is the one for you. The Elim Syrah captures Trizanne’s technical ability and terroir savvy. With an excellent track record vintage after vintage, this wine encapsulates the particular saline and windswept character of Elim." - Lauren Segers, Wine Cellar
