A refined platform. A world of rare wines. A new chapter in wine discovery.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cape Ardor, a leading specialty wine importer to the U.S., proudly announces the launch of its new domain and online storefront: CapeArdorWine.com. This elegant evolution marks a significant step forward in the company's mission to bring extraordinary wines from the world's most celebrated boutique wineries directly to American wine lovers.
"For nearly two decades, we've worked to make fine wine from the Southern Hemisphere more accessible to U.S. customers," says co-founder Eric Matkovich. "CapeArdorWine.com represents the next stage in that journey — a seamless, intuitive e-commerce experience that reflects the sophistication of the wines we import."
A New Era for E-Commerce Wine Retailers
Cape Ardor's updated platform offers an immersive and customer-first approach to online wine shopping — ideal for the modern wine connoisseur. New features include:
- Enhanced Order Tracking: Crystal-clear visibility into order status, inventory, and delivery timelines.

- On-Page Wine Concierge: Real-time support from a passionate, knowledgeable team of wine experts.
These improvements reflect Cape Ardor's commitment to excellence not only in its curated portfolio, but in every step of the customer experience.
One of the Largest Portfolios of New World Fine Wines in the U.S.
Cape Ardor is more than just an e-commerce wine retailer — it is a trusted importer of premium wines from South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as boutique producers in France and Italy. With over 100 winery partnerships, Cape Ardor offers an unparalleled selection of New World wines not typically found on U.S. shelves.
Among its distinguished South African winery partners are:
- Delaire Graff
- Tokara
- Waterford Estate
- Delaire Graff
- Klein Constantia

Each winery is chosen for its commitment to excellence, terroir-driven expression, and limited-production craftsmanship. Cape Ardor's direct relationships allow them to import rare and sought-after wines — the kind you'd typically find only at the estate tasting room — and make them available to customers across the United States. "We've grown up alongside many of our winery partners," adds Kara Matkovich, co-founder. "This new platform is a reflection of that shared growth — a space that honors the artistry of their wines while bringing them to life online."
