Located on the cool West Coast of South Africa, Darling Cellars produces unique, terroir and varietal-specific wines that are recognised as among the region’s best. With 99% of all vineyards dry land and almost the same percentage as bush vine, this is as close to what nature intended for grapes to be. The Cellar Road range consists of easy-drinking fun wines. Rich in vibrant fruit, they display a bit of complexity, but are not heavy or dull. A wine for all festive occasions.
