Sip Happens: Max & Moritz Pour South Africa Next Door
Some neighbours bring you a cup of sugar. Max & Moritz bring you a glass of Chenin. Or a perfectly chilled Cap Classique. Or a Pinotage that makes you think maybe this is the best country in the world for red wine.
Tucked just next door to OOSA, Max & Moritz is more than a wine bar it’s a mood. Low-lit, effortlessly stylish, and just the right amount of buzzy, it’s the kind of place where a “quick drink” can turn into a long, happy evening of tasting just one more.
South Africa in a Glass
The magic? They pour the best of the best from South Africa. Think rich, velvety reds from Stellenbosch, mineral-driven whites from Elgin, bold blends from Swartland, and sparkling wines that can hold their own against Champagne (but with way more sunshine in the bottle).
The menu reads like a love letter to terroir: fynbos-scented breezes, cool ocean mists, and sun-baked slopes all distilled into something that makes you raise your eyebrows after the first sip.
And because Max & Moritz are as curious as they are charming, the list changes often. You’ll find cult favourites sitting right next to tiny-batch, can’t-find-it-anywhere-else bottles.
“A good wine, is like a good friend. It should make you feel at home, but also surprise you once in a while.” - Moritz Schreiner
The Perfect Pairing
We like to think of Max & Moritz as OOSA’s partner in crime. You browse South African design at ours, then wander over for South African wine at theirs. It’s a two-stop cultural tour without even needing to cross the street.
“A good wine,” says Moritz, “is like a good friend. It should make you feel at home, but also surprise you once in a while.”
With Max & Moritz, every glass comes with that surprise and probably a laugh, too.
Cheers to That
So whether you’re a Pinotage purist, a Sauvignon dreamer, or just here for the bubbles, Max & Moritz have a seat (and a pour) with your name on it. And if you leave with a bottle under your arm? Well, we call that the perfect souvenir
