Indalo

Swartland Winery’s flagship range of wines is the boutique premium brand Indalo. Named after the Xhosa word for nature, Indalo wines are made from grapes mainly grown on bush vines - the traditional way of cultivating vineyards in the warm and dry climate of the Swartland. The smaller grapes flourish under these ideal conditions, creating complex wines with ripe tannins, concentrated aromas and rich flavours.

Indalo wines are made in limited quantities in a seperate small boutique cellar. The cellar master and viticulturist select the best blocks of every vintage from sought-after sites. The five cultivars in the range have won acclaim at international wine shows and offers a classic and sophisticated addition to the connoisseurs collection.

Indalo Chenin Blanc The bouquet of this crystal, light green tinted wine is grassy green fig and with underlying tropical asparagus flavours. The addition of delicate citrus flavours adds to the complexity. Dominant gooseberry-citrus and sharp clean acid balances the palate.

Indalo Sauvignon Blanc The bouquet of this green tinted light yellow straw coloured wine is spicy, overripe guava, under laid with rose flavours. The palate is full tropical, guava and pineapple. Acid balances the full body with a lingering aftertaste.

Indalo Cabernet Sauvignon An intense dark ruby red coloured wine with spicy leather flavours. Full-bodied white ripe fruit flavours on the palate, rounded off by berries. Will improve in complexity within two years.

Indalo Shiraz A young, fruity wine with dark ruby colouring releasing blackberry and spicey aromas. Ripe berry supported by vanilla flavours round off the taste on the palate of this full-bodied wine.

Indalo Pinotage Full-bodied wine with red and oak flavours to add to the complexity. This dark ruby coloured wine has the same ripe berry flavours on the palate as on the nose, and wooden flavours round off the wine.
