From premium Méthode Cap Classique to ready-to-drink Mimosas, Bonang Matheba’s celebrated South African sparkling wine brand is bringing a little extra sparkle to summer entertaining
The festive season in South Africa calls for sunshine, good company and something worth raising a glass to. Whether it’s a Christmas lunch, a summer soirée or a thoughtful gift for someone special, The House of BNG offers a collection of locally crafted sparkling wines designed for life’s most memorable occasions.
Founded in 2019 by South African media personality and entrepreneur Bonang Matheba, the luxury sparkling wine brand has become a familiar name at some of the country’s most prestigious celebrations, including President Cyril Ramaphosa’s inauguration and the Miss South Africa pageant.
Now, with its signature Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) collection and innovative ready-to-drink Mimosa range, The House of BNG is making festive entertaining a little more exciting.
A South African Success Story in Every Glass
Affectionately known as the “Champagne Queen”, Bonang Matheba turned her passion for sparkling wine into a proudly South African business.
Described by its founder as her “love letter to Africa”, The House of BNG celebrates local winemaking expertise, premium Cape grapes and a distinctly African approach to luxury.
“The House of BNG has always been my passion project,” says Bonang. “Champagne is my favourite drink, so creating my own MCC was a dream come true. I’m thrilled by the brand’s growth and our commitment to innovation.”
Working alongside acclaimed Cape Wine Master Jeff Grier, Bonang has remained closely involved in developing the collection, from selecting grapes sourced in Stellenbosch to refining the flavour profiles and delicate bubbles that define the brand.
The House of BNG Brut Rosé is a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 25% Pinotage and 5% Pinot Meunier, showcasing the versatility of South African winemaking.
The House of BNG MCC Collection: A Gift Worth Giving
For those looking beyond traditional Christmas gifts, a bottle of premium South African MCC makes an elegant alternative.
The House of BNG collection includes the classic Brut MCC, the refined Brut Rosé and the more exclusive Prestige Reserve MCC, offering options for everything from intimate dinners to milestone celebrations.
With its roots in the Cape Winelands, the collection combines traditional sparkling wine production with contemporary South African luxury.
It’s the kind of gift that feels equally appropriate beneath the Christmas tree, on a beautifully set festive table or presented to the host of a summer celebration.
Meet The House of BNG Mimosa: Made for Summer
While the traditional MCC collection brings a sense of occasion, The House of BNG Mimosa range introduces a more relaxed approach to sparkling wine.
Presented in convenient, ready-to-drink cans, the Mimosa collection is designed for the way South Africans entertain during the warmer months.
Think afternoons beside the pool, outdoor lunches, garden parties and spontaneous celebrations with friends.
The range builds on The House of BNG’s reputation for innovation, offering a contemporary alternative to traditional bottled sparkling wine without losing the brand’s premium positioning.
The House of BNG has also embraced canned sparkling wine through its Nectar range, reflecting a growing interest in convenient formats for outdoor occasions and casual entertaining.
Raising a Glass to African Luxury
Beyond the bubbles, The House of BNG represents a wider story of South African entrepreneurship.
Since its debut, Bonang has positioned the brand as a celebration of African ambition, craftsmanship and the confidence to compete in the luxury drinks market.
From its Stellenbosch origins to its presence at major national events, The House of BNG continues to demonstrate how local expertise can create products with a distinctly premium identity.
And as South Africans prepare for another season of celebrations, the brand offers plenty of ways to toast the moments that matter.
Whether you’re gifting a bottle of Brut Rosé, serving Prestige Reserve at Christmas lunch or enjoying a chilled Mimosa beside the pool, The House of BNG brings a little South African sparkle to the occasion.
