Leeuwenkuil Family Vineyards

Leeuwenkuil, or “Lion’s Lair”, was given its alluring name as a tribute to the ferocious Cape Lion that roamed the farmlands hunting unsuspecting cattle. Luckily for the Dreyer family, Leeuwenkuil’s land was perfectly suited for growing vineyards. Willie Dreyer inherited the half of the farm, 45ha, and has a hands-on approach to wine farming and studiously tends to his land from dawn to dusk. He and his wife Emma have expanded the estate into the 1250 ha it is today.

Swartland

Swartland, located in South Africa's Western Cape, is a dynamic wine region celebrated for its robust and distinctive wines. Its Mediterranean climate, marked by hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters, combined with its varied soil types, creates ideal conditions for viticulture.
The area is renowned for its powerful reds, particularly from Syrah and Grenache, which exhibit bold fruit flavours, spice, and a characteristic earthiness. It also excels in producing expressive Chenin Blancs, known for their richness, complexity, and vibrant acidity.
