| Winery | The Swartland name originates from a description of the Indigenous rhino bush, which appears to turn black ("Swart" in Afrikaans) during the summer months. This hot, dry climate has an average temperature range of 25°C to 35°C and an annual rainfall of 450 mm and 600mm, but the altitude of these vineyards creates a cool oasis in this arid landscape. Minimal intervention and environmentally friendly farming practices are paramount. 80% of the vineyards are small bush vines with an average yield of six tonnes per hectare; the fruit quality is exceptional. The grapes for this wine came from a single vineyard of 100% bush vines aged 25 to 40 years, grown 300 metres above sea level. |
