About
Southern Road Wine Co. takes its name from winding roads that traverse South Africa’s picturesque wine region, which meander through vineyards, golden wheat fields and natural forest, and symbolise the journey taken by our grapes from vine to bottle.
Product Features

- Traditional vinification process: destemmed, crushed, and fermented on skins for 7 days at 25-30°C.
- Free run and pressed juices combined for a full-bodied experience, followed by natural malolactic fermentation in tanks.
- Aged in 225L oak barrels for 12 months, adding depth and complexity to the wine.

- Gentle tannins provide a smooth, elegant finish.
