Regions

Welcome to the heart of South African wines, where each region tells a unique story through its vineyards. Let’s embark on a journey through these regions, starting with the Breedekloof wine district.

Breedekloof

Nestled between two mountain ranges, the Breedekloof wine district is a gem of South Africa’s wine country. This region is home to 28 wine cellars and represents 14.24% of wine grape vineyard plantings in South Africa. With a unique combination of terroirs, from deep heavy black soils to sandy shale soils in old river beds, Breedekloof offers a favourable environment for wine production.

The region’s diversity is reflected in our collection of Breedekloof wines, showcasing its ability to produce a wide range of wine styles. One standout offering is the Daschbosch Avon Clairette Blanche, a wine that beautifully expresses the unique characteristics of the Breedekloof terroir.

While wine production is the main economic activity, the region also grows peaches, prunes, pears, and other crops. Tourism has become an important industry, with new wedding venues and guest houses providing many opportunities for visitors to immerse themselves in the local culture and landscape.

Darling

Our journey continues to the Darling wine region, a place of unique beauty and exceptional wines. Located in the Western Cape of South Africa, Darling’s close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and moderately dry climate create the perfect conditions for producing unique, cool-climate style wines.

The region’s climate is heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. The cooling winds from the Benguela Current sweep through the vineyards in the afternoons, allowing the grapes to cool down at night, helping them retain their acidity while still developing complex flavours.

Darling’s signature grape varieties include Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc, both extensively planted as bush vines. One standout offering from our collection is the Old Blocks Pinotage by Darling Cellars. This robust, full-bodied wine is a testament to the unique terroir of the Darling region, with its rich, complex flavours a direct result of the deep-rooted bush vines that are characteristic of the area.

Darling wines have garnered international acclaim in the past 10 years, particularly the intense and unusual styles made from bush-vine Sauvignon Blanc. Whether you’re a seasoned wine connoisseur or a curious beginner, our collection of Darling Wines offers a unique opportunity to explore and appreciate the distinct flavours of this remarkable wine region.

Franschhoek

Franschhoek, a picturesque wine region encased by towering mountains on three sides, is a haven for wine enthusiasts. Dating back to 1688, the wines from Franschhoek are a testament to the region’s rich winegrowing heritage.

The Franschhoek Valley is home to a diverse range of grape varieties. The white wines from this region are known for their distinctly floral and spicy Sauvignon Blancs, creamy, barrel-fermented Semillons, and elegant Chardonnays. The red wines are celebrated for their robust Cabernet Sauvignons, the most planted red variety in the region.

Our journey through South Africa’s wine regions continues with Paarl, one of the country’s oldest towns.

The region’s warm climate and diverse soil types contribute to the production of a variety of wine styles, from bold reds to crisp whites.

The wineries in Paarl range from historic estates that have been producing wine for centuries, to innovative newcomers pushing the boundaries of traditional wine-making. One such winery is Fairview, a family-owned estate that’s been producing quality wines for over three generations.

Stellenbosch

Next, we journey to Stellenbosch, a sub-region of the Coastal Region of South Africa. This wine lover’s paradise is known for its unique soil types and the diverse selection of grape varieties grown, resulting in wines with a distinct style that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.

The terroir of Stellenbosch plays a significant role in shaping the character of its wines. The region’s soil types vary, providing a rich tapestry of flavours and aromas in the wines produced here. The climate, influenced by the nearby ocean, provides cool breezes that help to moderate temperatures, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavours.

Our collection of Stellenbosch wines is a testament to the region’s diversity. We offer a range of wines, from robust reds to crisp whites, each embodying the unique characteristics of the Stellenbosch terroir. A customer favourite is the False Bay ‘Bush Vine’ Pinotage, offering a robust palate with notes of ripe red fruit, balanced by subtle tannins and a smooth finish.

Swartland

Our journey continues to Swartland, a coastal region in South Africa that’s making waves in the wine world with its unique and controversial wines. Swartland’s distinct terroir and soil composition set its wines apart, offering a depth of flavour that is truly remarkable.

Swartland is known for its focus on old-vines and bush-vines, which contribute to the region’s unique wine profile. The region is particularly known for its Shiraz, Chenin Blanc, Grenache, and Pinotage wines. The Aloe Tree Chenin Blanc, for example, is a testament to the region’s ability to produce wines with concentrated flavours and intense tropical notes.

Swartland also grows several varieties rarely seen in other regions of South Africa, including Cinsault, Verdelho, and Tinta Barocca. These unique varieties add to the diversity of the region’s wine offerings. The approach to winemaking in Swartland has helped to rectify the rugged reputation of Pinotage, a proudly South African variety.
