Information:

David & Nadia is a first generation family owned Swartland project and we are members of the Swartland Independent Producers. With family roots in the Swartland dating back to 1757, we focus on dry land farmed bush vines, soil diversity, climate and people of one region only. In the vineyard we aim for biological farming whilst more vineyards are being farmed more organically year on year and in the cellar we work as natural as possible. It is all about the soil and vineyards after all. We believe in a pure, fresh and natural approach as style where site and soil are at work with minimal influence from a winemaking point of view.

As in the past seasons, our focus remains on a number of various Certified Heritage Vineyards, with plantings dates ranging from 1968 till 1986. The core of the wine is made up from vineyards planted in granitic soils from the Paardeberg and also brown shale (anomaly) from the same mountain. Furthermore, grapes from a vineyard west of Malmesbury planted in clay rich soils with a high iron content, on limestone also form an important component of the wine. The final vineyard was planted in sand with some clay that holds iron minerals. In total the wine is made from eight vineyards, no less than 25 pickings, different soils, different aspects, different vineyard ages and different maturity levels to create focused, detailed and balanced wines from our warm climate. The Swartland is known for extremely warm summers with a low average winter rainfall. On the west, the Swartland borders on the Atlantic ocean and on the east inland by mountain ranges. Due to this location, a large diurnal shift is observed where the average daytime temperatures are much higher than the average night time temperatures. All of our vineyards are however inland and our climate is considered to be mediterranean.

Wine making:

The grapes were whole bunch pressed and naturally fermented and then matured for 11 months in old neutral French oak barrels and 20% concrete. The wine is made from Certified Heritage Vineyards (CHV), an initiative of the Old Vine Project (OVP). Bottle maturation took place for 9 months before release.

【酒仕🍷酒莊】
💁🏻‍♂️ David & Nadia位於南非Swartland產區, 產區本身並不是以種植葡萄為主。直至2000年後, 包括David & Nadia 一班出色的種植及釀酒師令產區得以發揚光大。

💁🏻‍♀️ David於University of Stellenbosch攻讀葡萄栽培和釀酒學，而妻子Nadia的專業剛是葡萄栽培和土壤科學專家，簡直絕配。兩人於2009年結婚，並於2016年正式以David & Nadia名命酒莊。

💁🏻‍♀️ 雖然，酒莊成立時間不長，但葡萄藤卻有不少是超過三十五年的。David & Nadia崇尚自然，希望在酒中呈現土壤與葡萄田最真實的一面。雖然沒有organic 或biodynamic 的認證，但酒莊卻是以biological framing 的理念來種植的。
