Nestled in a region blessed by superlative vineyards, exquisite Flamingoes and rare orchids, Darling Cellars is located close to the tiny hamlet of Darling on the cool West Coast of South Africa. As a privately owned winery with almost 1,700ha under vine, situated mainly in the newly discovered premium vineyard of "Groenekloof", our wines are set to rival the best in the Cape.

Crush and destalk, 15 days fermentation at 16°C.

Kept on light lees for 3 months for fuller mouth feel and complexity.
