The Western Cape’s favourite porcine painter recently made strides as watch brand Swatch’s first ever animal designer. She now has another another notch to add to her  belt – she has her own wine, with a label she designed.

The wine, simply called PIGCASSO Black, is a flavourful robust red. “Crafted to arouse the most decreeing taste, naturally inspired by the creative genius that resides among the luscious vineyards of the magnificent Franschhoek Valley,” her site reads.

The grapes, grown at the pig’s home, were discovered to be ripe for picking one morning when she ran into the vineyard and destroyed two rows of grapes.

According to Pigcasso.com, the porker lives in the beautiful Franschhoek winelands area. She was rescued from a slaughterhouse in 2016, and spends her days eating, sleeping and painting beautiful landscapes on canvas. It is reported that Pigcasso is particularly inspired once she’s had a picnic basket filled with her favourite goodies, including syrup peaches and caramel popcorn.

Pigcasso is three years old, and has earned more than R1-million from her art.
