The Story: The Portuguese Renegade

Tinta Barocca is a grape with a storied past in Portugal’s Douro Valley. But in the hands of the Swartland’s maverick winemakers, it becomes something else entirely: a rugged, soulful, and utterly compelling red. This 2020 parcel comes from a producer celebrated for their terroir-driven wines. Originally destined to add backbone to a top-tier blend, this batch was simply too good and too full of character to be a supporting actor.

We stepped in and convinced them to let this renegade shine on its own. It’s a rare chance to taste a pure expression of this grape from one of the best sites in the Swartland, exclusively for the Vinty tribe.

The XCellar Deal: Your Insider Access

This is an XCellar Limited Edition, the tier we reserve for the rarest, one-off batches we unearth. We get you inside the cellar door to access a wine you’d normally pay a fortune for, simply by hiding the label. It’s our core promise: incredible wine, unbeatable value, zero pretence.

What’s in the Bottle?

The 2020 vintage gave this Tinta Barocca a beautiful concentration of flavour, balanced by a natural freshness that is quintessentially Swartland.

On the nose: A burst of dark cherry, ripe plum, and a distinct note of licorice, with underlying hints of wild herbs and dusty earth.
On the palate: The fruit is rich and generous, supported by firm, grippy tannins and a savoury, lingering finish. Notes of black olive and sweet spice add layers of complexity.
In simple terms: A bold, honest red wine that’s perfect for a braai. It’s got stories to tell and makes you feel like you’ve discovered a hidden gem—because you have.
