This wind-swept winery derives its name from the belt of land which spans the tempestuous tip of Africa’s southernmost coastline. At almost 35 degrees below the equator, this part of our fair Cape is characterised by severe winds, billowing mist and below average temperatures. A unique combination of maritime climate, alternating sites and diverse soil types work together to create the terroir which distinguishes the wines of Strandveld Vineyards.
Our range of unique Strandveld Vineyards wines are produced in limited quantities from only the finest grapes carefully selected from quality vineyards – each expressive of the terroir with which they have become synonymous.

Strandveld Anders Sparrman 2014
This wine was produced to have good aging potential. It has a dark ruby red color with piquant red berry fruit, earthy undertones and savory richness. The palate delivers well on the promise of the nose with more complex flavours with wet slate to compliment the berry notes and oak undertones. The tannin is firm but not astringent and carries the wine for a long finish. Youthful on release, this is a serious wine which will benefit from cellaring with the potential to age for 10 years or more.

This Grenache is big in fruit and structure with a beautiful deep red colour. Delightfully aromatic with vibrant red berry and black cherry aromas and intriguing fynbos notes.

Strandveld The Navigator 2016
