The wine region of Darling

Coastal WO of the Coastal Region (Western Cape, ex-Swartland in 2003) 11 km from the Atlantic: signature Sauvignon Blanc as king white, grown in bush-vines (rare worldwide) — intense and unusual with signature lively citrus, tropical fruits and a fresh herbaceous touch. Signature Shiraz as king red in bush-vines — rich and spicy with black fruits, pepper and a smoky touch. Pinotage complement. Cool-climate refreshed by Benguela current, Atlantic breezes.


The wine region of Western Cape

Cradle of South African wine. Signature Chenin Blanc (Steen, 20%) in ample, fresh whites with notes of quince, yellow apple, honey and acacia flower, from crisp dry to sweet. Sharp, iodised Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay, Constantia), balanced Chardonnay. Reds: emblematic Pinotage with roasted aromas (coffee, plum, smoke), firm Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy Syrah.

The word of the wine: Decanting
