Swartland
Together with the districts of Cape Town, Darling, Franschhoek, Paarl, Stellenbosch, Tulbagh and Wellington, Swartland is part of South Africa’s Coastal Region wine region. The district is considered a young up-and-comer. The vineyards and wineries in this extensive area are often widely scattered, which is rather untypical for South African winegrowing.
The district, which is about an hour’s drive from Cape Town, used to be known for growing wheat and cattle farming. Today, more and more innovative and young wine specialists are settling here. As the area is very dry and warm, particularly fruity and full-bodied Sauvignon Blancs were initially produced. After some time, however, excellent Shiraz and Rhône blends with their own “Swartland style” were also produced.
At Savinis you will find the best producers from the Swartland region such as Allesverloren, Babylon’s Peak, De Toren and Spice Route.
