“The Swartland Fire”
Dark purple with violet glints, this Shiraz bursts with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and cracked black pepper, accented by hints of olive and fynbos. The palate is bold yet vibrant – ripe black fruit layered with smoky spice, framed by grainy tannins and refreshing acidity. A wine that’s both generous and grounded.
For when: the grill is hot, the table’s full, and the mood is unfiltered joy.
Pairs with: flame-grilled lamb chops, boerewors, or charred aubergine.
If this wine were music, it’d be Afro-jazz, bold, rhythmic, and full of life.
Leeuwenkuil is one of the Swartland’s most dynamic family estates, farming hundreds of hectares of old vines across diverse soils. Their Shiraz captures the region’s signature: sun-drenched ripeness balanced by savoury, peppery depth, always with an unmistakable Swartland energy.
