For every bottle of wine purchased, a percentage will be donated to the SANParks Honorary Rangers counter poaching efforts, the official volunteer organisation of South African National Parks.

“The philosophy behind the Rhino Tears Wine brand is for consumers to gain awareness of the crisis facing rhinos, raising valuable funds for the SANParks Honorary Rangers counter poaching efforts, while at the same time enjoying a glass of Mount Vernon Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon Pinotage or a Chenin Blanc (responsibly, of course),” said Louis Lemmer, National Chairperson of the SANParks Honorary Rangers.

The new wine range, produced and bottled by Mount Vernon Wines, includes a Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon Pinotage and a Chenin Blanc and is available from selected outlets country-wide, from the SANParks Honorary Rangers: http://www.sanparksvolunteers.org or from Mount Vernon Wines: http://www.mountvernon.co.za.

“The SANParks Honorary Rangers is the official volunteer organisation of South African National Parks. Through our close working relationship with the South African National Parks counter poaching units, we know where the priority areas are. Because the SANParks Honorary Rangers are unpaid volunteers no funds are used for administration and every sent donated towards counter poaching is utilised solely for this purpose. Therefore we have the unique ability to best utilise the resources available to make a real difference in the poaching war on the ground”, concludes Lemmer.
