Winery	The Swartland name originates from a description of the Indigenous "reposters" or 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. Sowing cover crops between the vines protects them from the winter rains and maintains their valuable mineral content, nutrients, and moisture during the hot summers. 80% of the vineyards are small bush vines with an average yield of six tonnes per hectare; the fruit quality is exceptional. The soil types vary, but Malmesbury Shale dominates, with small patches of granite and Table Mountain sandstone.
