Wine Description
The Swartland Winery Limited Release Mourvedre 2022 is a striking red wine that captures the essence of South Africa's Swartland region with every pour. Deep in colour and rich in character, this wine immediately impresses with its enticing aroma of mocha, chocolate, and vibrant dark berries. These opulent notes evolve on the palate, where spice and subtle tannins add layers of complexity to the velvety smooth mouthfeel. A lingering finish ensures a memorable experience with each sip.
The 2022 vintage benefited from a cool and wet spring, which initially delayed vine budbreak. However, this did not compromise the overall quality of the grapes, as they matured into well-balanced clusters. Flowering occurred about five days later than usual, and the consistent, steady temperatures throughout the growing season allowed the vines to develop evenly. The result is a wine that is both beautifully structured and elegantly balanced, marked by a stunning depth of colour and a harmonious fusion of flavours, achieved through gradual ripening and perfectly balanced acidity.

| 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 600 mm, 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. The soil types vary, but Malmesbury Shale dominates, with small patches of granite and Table Mountain sandstone. |
