Jason Oliva [wine], Stripey Horse 2008
First pictures of the completed signed and numbered [Stripey Horse] 2008 : Cab Franc, Cab Sav, merlot blend. Everything inside and out turned out beyond expectations. The label paper is high quality similar to Arches and all the labels were letter pressed so the artworks line work is raised and glossy. Also the gentleman in South Africa that waxed all 250 bottles and 18 Magnums is a true artisan – Home stretch with the governmental red tape as well!
Thanks to Dirk and especially Suzaan the owner of Kaia my favorite (South African) wine bar in NYC…google Kaia on the upper east side (take 4/5 to 86th and walk)

Jason Oliva [Wine]: [Stripey Horse] update
October 21, 2011
Hello Everyone,Some more pictures and information to share from South Africa and NYC.The [Stripey Horse] label has received government approval and will be printed and fixed to all the bottles prior to its 3 week ocean journey to the States…very exciting.Thomas j. Donahue displaying the unopened Magnum of [Stripey Horse] that Dirk brought from South Africa.
I had three extremely successful tastings with the taste bottles of [Stripey Horse] that Dirk brought. Everyone raved about the quality of the wine as well as the taste. Here is a copy of the menu that we debuted the Magnum to a prestigious Investment bank and law firm:
[Stripey Horse] amongst the world greats!
You can see that [Stripey Horse}] was up against some of the worlds greatest wines and it came out on top. I could not have been more pleased. The wine will be on the water traveling to the states over a three week period so it looks like the bottles will be in NYC by the beginning of November.
If anyone would like further information about 2008 [Stripey Horse] please feel free to email me at jasonoliva@gmail.com.
There are a number of other exciting projects in the works so thanks for follow along.As always,Cheers![Stripey Horse] 2008Hand harvested grapes from high lying environmentally friendly grown Cabernet Franc, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, in Stellenbosch, were used to produce this Bordeaux style blend. Bottling was done by hand using customised equipment and natural gravitational flow, therefore eliminating the use of electrical equipment and we used harvested rain water to clean all equipment. This forms part of my EARTH FRIENDLY EARTH CONSCIOUS approach to winemaking and ensuring a small carbon footprint.
