This is the second release of our three-week South African Fine Wine Spotlight, and it’s one we’re incredibly excited about. Back in 2010, the Swartland Revolution opened, rather raucously, a riveting page-turner of a new chapter in South Africa’s contemporary wine story. Leading this selection of the pivotal 'OGs' of the Revolution is a UK Bonded Offer, featuring four iconic and stunningly ageworthy wines which would be best tucked away in your Reserves for the years to come: Badenhorst White and Red, Mullineux Old Vines White and UK-exclusive access to MAGNUMS of Porseleinberg 2022.
Order these wines by midday, Wednesday 5th August
The Swartland Revolution inspired winemakers all over the Cape to re-evaluate the potential of their respective regions and catalysed a quality revolution deeply rooted in the land, at the same time as creating a laidback easy-going wine culture which invited everyone to come on in.
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t been to the Swartland; light a fire (syrah is the perfect partner to a braai, or barbecue), invite over a ton of friends, and let these wildly delicious and effortlessly authentic wines conjure this special, beautiful place, wherever you are!
