Strandveld Vineyards 'The Navigator' SGM 2022
From South Africa’s southernmost winery in Elim, Overberg, this cool-climate Rhône-style blend showcases the elegance and precision the coastal terroir can deliver. The combination of classic Rhône varieties brings both freshness and layered complexity, with vibrant fruit, subtle spice, and a refined texture that speaks to the region’s unique maritime influence.
Tasting
Dark berry and plum on the nose, with earthy undertones and a subtle herbal edge. The palate is crisp and structured, finishing long and balanced with fine, lingering tannins. A thoughtful, poised wine with a real sense of place.
Producer

Strandveld stands out for its commitment to terroir-driven wines - a result of both pioneering viticulture on this wild tip of the continent and rigorous attention to sustainable farming. Only a select few vineyards in the world face such tempestuous conditions, making these wines truly distinctive in character and complexity.
