The Range at a Glance

Four Styles From One Cool Slope

Every wine is picked by hand and made in the 1898 stone cellar. Start with the style you like to drink, then find it on the shelf below.

Five glasses of white, rosé and red wine lined up on a stone wall above the vineyard

  1. Two wines

    Cap Classique

    Bottle fermented and rested 36 months on the lees. Fine, bright and properly dry.

    • Brut NVR245
    • Brut Rosé NVR265

  2. Four wines

    White

    The cool air off the ravine keeps them taut. Chenin from the 1978 block leads.

    • Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2024R195
    • Semillon 2023R235
    • Chardonnay 2024R225

    Rosé

    One rosé, from Grenache, pressed pale and bone dry for long lunches on the stoep.

    • Grenache Rosé 2025R125

  4. Five wines

    Red

    Slow ripened and aged in French oak. Swaelnes is the flagship; the Cape Vintage ends the meal.

Who Makes Them

Two People, Every Row, Every Barrel

Anele makes the wine and Johan farms the vines, so the person tasting the grapes in February is the person topping the barrels in winter. The slopes catch the cool air off the ravine: the whites keep their line and the reds take their time.

We pick the old Chenin by taste, not by the calendar. Some years that means three passes through the same block.

Anele Mahlangu, Winemaker

How the farm came to the family is in our story.
