Swanepoel

Swanepoel Wines, based in the picturesque Tulbagh valley, is known for its innovative approach, particularly with their White Pinotage, a rare and distinct wine made from the traditionally red Pinotage grape. This wine is crafted with care in the estate’s historic stone cellar, where whole bunch pressing and cold fermentation techniques are used to preserve its unique character. Swanepoel Wines is part of the Oude Compagnies Post estate, which is nestled at the foot of the Obiqua Mountains, offering breathtaking views and a serene environment.

The winery offers a diverse range of wines, including red and rosé Pinotage, Shiraz, and even a Cape Ruby (port-style) wine, showcasing their expertise in blending and innovative winemaking. Their commitment to quality is reflected in wines like the Shiraz 2019, aged in barrels for two years, which offers robust berry flavors with peppery nuances. Swanepoel Wines stands as a testament to Tulbagh’s emerging wine scene, combining traditional winemaking with modern techniques.
