Swartland — meaning “Black Land” in Afrikaans — is South Africa’s most talked-about wine region among wine lovers in the know. A rugged, dramatic landscape of granite and schist north of Cape Town, Swartland is home to some of the country’s most innovative and iconoclastic winemakers, producing old-vine Chenin Blanc, Syrah and Rhône-style blends of breathtaking quality. This is a region that has rewritten the rules of South African wine. At Winoship we are devoted fans of the Swartland revolution and stock some of its most exciting bottles for delivery across the UK.
