Description
Discover a top-tier Swartland red blend, secretly bottled as an XCellar Limited Edition. Previously rated 91 points under its original boutique label, this is your inside track to exceptional South African red wine without the premium price tag.
The Story: A 91-Point Swartland Secret
We can’t reveal the famous winemaker, but we can share the details. This powerful Swartland red blend was unearthed by our team as a one-off parcel. It’s a classic Rhône-style blend where Syrah leads, with Grenache and Mourvèdre adding layers of complexity. The secret weapon? A rare component of old vine Carignan from a celebrated 1970s vineyard—the kind of block that top cellars build their reputations on.
Tasting Notes & Profile
A bold, full-bodied red wine that remains perfectly balanced. Ideal for anyone searching for a rich and expressive Swartland wine online.
- Aroma: Wild berries, violets, and a distinct hint of Cape fynbos and spice.
- Palate: A generous core of dark fruit (blackberry, plum) is supported by bright acidity.
- Finish: Grippy, structured tannins lead to a long and satisfying finish. A seriously well-made wine.

A lively Rhône-style blend with bright berry aromas and a hint of spice. Smooth tannins create an easy, balanced sip, and the juicy finish lingers nicely.
Menno (store manager) –
Very nice wine. It has fruity smell, but at the same time peppery notes. Taste is nice and full, again a bit peppery, slightly fruity and a bit of bitterness (coffee?).
