One of South Africa’s most innovative and dynamic wine-growing regions, the Swartland is rapidly becoming one of the most on-trend and desirable of the southern hemisphere. A raft of eager and talented young winemakers, ancient vines, a Mediterranean climate more akin to the Rhône Valley in southern France and an overwhelming desire to push the fruits of their labour into the world market are offering consumers some of the most individual and eclectic wines available from the New World. Old vine Grenache, Shiraz, Cinsault and Chenin Blanc take centre stage, dry grown and crafted with care. A region that simply cannot be ignored!
