Survivor
From the heart of South Africa’s sought-after Swartland – one of the most dynamic wine regions in the Southern Hemisphere – comes a wine range reflecting its distinctive roots. SURVIVOR. Vibrant wines with an exciting story to tell. Mainly high potential Hutton and Oakleaf soils with high water retention which are suited for the production of premium quality cultivars. These soils provide a longer window period for optimum ripeness without losing any flavours. Supplementary irrigation is advantageous during dry seasons or heat waves as it can be utilised to maintain quality. The vines are situated in such a way that the cooling effect of the Benguela sea breezes is optimised. Due to this the farm is situated most likely in one of the coolest Swartland areas. Our Elgin wines are represented by pure fruit flavours supported by an underlying minerality. This wine from Elgin are by definition an expression of their terroir
