Wine Services
Through collaboration with producers, winemakers, distributors and retailers, Riebeek Valley Wine Co produces wine of exceptional quality and distinct Swartland expression, finished to our clients’ specifications.
We provide the backbone for leading South African and international brands through strategic contract wine partnerships. Our wines are fruit-driven and well-balanced, with velvety smooth tannin structures and a layered flavour profile that expresses distinct Swartland character. The Riebeek Valley supports a great diversity of varietals that flourish here but it is our exceptional Chenin Blanc, Shiraz & Pinotage that shows the best of what the Swartland terroir can do. More recently we have also seen great success with Southern Rhone varietals like Grenache Blanc & Noir, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Marsanne and Viognier.
