Mullineux Kloof Street Swartland Rouge is Swartland's answer to the famous Côtes du Rhône, but with a unique blend of powerful Syrah holding it all together, Grenache for fruitiness, Tinta Barocca for tannins, elegant Cinsault for aroma, and hearty, meaty Carignan. It's a blend from eight different Swartland vineyards, showcasing the various soils, young and old vines, and the Mediterranean climate. Sixty percent destemmed, spontaneously fermented, and aged for 11 months in used 225L barriques and 500L demi-muids from the 3rd and 4th fillings. The smoky nose evokes violets, roses, olives, black pepper, roasted herbs, and dark berries. It's dry on the palate, with balanced tannins, making it a delicious all-rounder that pairs perfectly with grilled and braised dishes. This is Swartland winemaking at its finest.

Villiera Down to Earth Red is a captivating blend of Touriga Nacional and Shiraz grapes, crafted in the Stellenbosch wine region of South Africa. After picking, destemming and lightly crushing the grapes, the wine is vinified with the aim of gentle extraction, to create a soft, fruity red that is approachable on release. The wine is aged for a short period in oak to soften the tannins and round out the mouthfeel. Both varieties come together to create a seamless blend, with Shiraz offering flavors of dark berries and spice, whilst Touriga Nacional provides robust tannins and floral notes.
