Heritage Swaartekrag

Pairs wonderfully with creamy shellfish, roasted poultry, pork in buttery sauces, and soft cheeses—its texture and acidity beautifully balance rich and savoury dishes.

Sourced from a certified Heritage vineyard in Swartland, planted in 1968. These old bush vines produce small, concentrated berries in dryland conditions, averaging only about 4–5 tons/ha.

Aged for 8 months in oak barrels (combination of French and Hungarian, with 20 % new), building complexity, creamy texture, and subtle oak spice.

Grapes underwent cold soak on skins at 7 °C for two days, followed by natural fermentation in 300 L French and Hungarian oak barrels (20 % new). The wine was then matured on the lees for 8 months.
