Swartland Bush Vine

Six varieties were selected for this prestigious range, because they do extremely well in the area and express the classic qualities of each grape in fuller, riper wines. Specific vineyards with slopes, soils and climates that favour the specific grape variety were chosen, most of them dry land bush vines and perfect for the production of smaller berries with concentrated fruit flavours and aromas.

Grapes are picked on flavour rather than simply on analysis, wines are matured in specially selected barrels that retain upfront fruit and round, soft tannins. The wines are smooth, yet more accessible, so you have that special edge, one that means you can enjoy them when released or lay them down for a few years.

Cabernet Sauvignon
A dark ruby red wine with blackcurrant and dark fruit aromas, a dark chocolate aftertaste, combine with structured and integrated tannins for an elegant finish. The wine works well with plainly grilled steak, roast turkey and lamb skewers with rosemary. Barrel Aged.

Pinotage
A rich ruby red wine with plums and dark forest fruit flavours that integrate with the gentle spiciness and velvety tannins. Enjoy with barbeque flavoured meats, roast beef or chicken glazed with honey and mustard. Barrel Aged.

Shiraz
A deep purple wine with big punchy fruit flavours which are complemented by spicy aromas and a soft finish. The wine pairs well with robust dishes like venison pie, rich meaty stews or chocolate chilly steak. Barrel Aged.

Chenin Blanc
A pale straw with green tinge crisp wine with a tropical bouquet and a creamy finish. Enjoy with schnitzel, fish with a delicate creamy sauce or avocado and calamari salad. Lightly wooded.
