ABOUT US
Coflex Wines (Coflex (Pty) Ltd) partners with lodges and hospitality groups across Southern and East Africa to source, curate, and supply standout South African wines. The focus is simple: effortless wine programmes—reliable supply, fair pricing, and bottles guests return for.
Founded and led by Stephan Niehaus, Coflex is built on relationships. Stephan’s deep passion for South African wine and close ties with producers across the Cape translate into access, agility, and tailored selections that fit your menu and guest profile—vintage by vintage.
What we do
- Sourcing & Curation: Independent, producer-led selections across styles, regions, and price points, with a strong focus on top winemakers and internationally renowned estates—consistently recognised in reports such as Tim Atkin MW’s annual South Africa Special Report.
- Rare & Allocated Wines: We secure allocations of highly sought-after, limited-production wines—often with long waiting lists—and make them available to our clients.
- Supply & Logistics: Consolidated orders, consistent stockholding, and coordinated deliveries with clear lead times—across Southern and East Africa.
- Wine List Support: Bespoke lists, vintage updates, and staff briefing notes on request.
- Training & Activations (optional): Tasting notes, service tips, and guest-facing material when needed.
