Swartland

Old vines and new ideas.

Swartland as a wine region

The Swartland region lies north of Cape Town and has developed into one of South Africa's most exciting wine regions. In the warm, dry climate, many old, unirrigated bush vines thrive, producing concentrated grapes. On granite and schist soils, Chenin Blanc dominates the white wines, while Rhône varieties such as Syrah and Grenache are predominant among the reds. A young generation of winemakers here works in close harmony with nature, bringing international attention to the region. At Florian Fine Wine, we present wines from the Swartland that embody character and a spirit of innovation.

Which wine from the Swartland goes best with which dish?

The expressive wines of the Swartland region are excellent companions to hearty food. A spicy Syrah pairs wonderfully with grilled meats and braised dishes. A full-bodied Chenin Blanc from old vines complements fish and light meats beautifully. You'll find suitable recommendations for the perfect food pairing in our wine descriptions.
