This offering will be sold online through cybercellar.com, which is South Africa's oldest and most trusted online wine shop, to raise funds to help underprivileged youth to grow through the sport of rugby.

VUKA Rugby is a partnership between the South African Rugby Legends (SARLA) and the South African Rugby Union (SARU). It was formed to help develop athletic talent by identifying young South Africans, ages 15 – 19, from underprivileged areas to play in a structured rugby league. This promotes the positive values that sport teaches children, showing them the importance of teamwork, dedication, and persistence. It also creates a pool of up and coming young rugby players who, through VUKA, have a shot at a brighter future. VUKA will be played in 11 provinces and in 2017, an estimated 15 000 girls and boys will participate in the league.

Oldenburg Vineyards, which is an independent family-run boutique vineyard in Stellenbosch, shares VUKA’s passion for creating a stronger South Africa through the sport of rugby, which is why they have donated their wines to VUKA. Only 150 cases exist and every case contains 12 bottles - two bottles each of the Oldenburg Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Rhodium Bordeaux blend. Each case will have one signed bottle by a South AfricanrRugby player, and the selling price for a case is R2 990. There will also be a competition where anyone who purchases a case by Friday, 31 March stands the chance to win a magnum signed by six rugby players and a signed rugby jersey. 

CEO of SARLA, Stefan Terblanche, says, “We are excited to be launching this campaign in partnership with Oldenburg Vineyards to raise money for this fantastic cause. Oldenburg has really impressed us with their enthusiasm for supporting and creating awareness around rugby development in South Africa. We are also grateful to cybercellar.com for their participation.” He adds, “We are all working together to put a smile on the faces of many young athletes in SA, and I know that we will be helping to change their lives for the better.”
