Darling Cellars Vineyards……
Some of Darling Cellars’ vineyards enjoy the coolness of the Darling Hills, just three miles from the roaring Atlantic on the west coast of South Africa, while others bask in sun in the flatter hinterland. Their lucky winemaking team thus has an abundance of flavour profiles to play with, not to mention a funky mix of varieties. Darling is best known for Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc as well as old vine Chenin Blanc and Pinotage, but their winemakers actually have fifteen red varieties and nine white varieties at their disposal. Their luck continues: 96% of the vineyards are un-irrigated bush vines so yields are very low and the quality proportionately high.

Darling Cellars De-alcoholised is a range of varietals where the focus is on fruit-driven, varietal true, value for money wines.

Great light salmon pink colour with ripe strawberries and sweet candyfloss on the nose following through to a balanced pallet with a lingering finish. A blend of 96% Sauvignon Blanc, 4% Grenache wine.

In 2022 Darling Cellars’s De-Alcoholised Rosé was awarded a gold medal at the IWSC as well as the Trophy for the best wine in the Low Alcohol category. The Judges said of the wine “A subtle fruit nose with floral hints of rose petal. An interesting blend of berry and citrus flavours, plus a layer of spice, adding complexity. Offers a very well-rounded finish”

Check out how Darling Cellars is made:

On arrival at the winery, grapes were crushed and destalked before 14 days’ fermentation at 14-15°C. The grapes and juice were handled reductively to prevent oxidation and lock in fruitiness. Post-fermentation, it was left on the lees for 2 months to add complexity. The wine was then de-alcoholised by way of a gently spun cone technology. This was done under vacuum and at a low temperature to ensure that the product retains its distinctive body, colour and flavour.

Darling Cellars De-Alcoholised is a product range of varietals where the focus is on fruit driven, varietal true wines. The grapes were harvested from dryland farmed vineyards in Darling, where the vines are not trellised and planted as bush vines.
