David & Nadia is a first generation family owned Swartland project and they are members of the Swartland Independent Producers. With family roots in the Swartland dating back to 1757, they focus on dry land farmed bush vines, soil diversity, climate and people of one region only.
These vines have their roots in a shallow shale outcrop in the mostly granitic soils of the Paardeberg and were planted in 1985. As this remains a challenging soil for dryland vineyards in a warm region, one can understand why their region is also known for wheat farms. Only a narrow tractor road separates the Plat’bos and Skaliekop vineyards from each other. Skaliekop was harvested slightly earlier than 2023 during the last days of January and mid-February on three different picking dates, comprising four separate lots. The different lots were fermented and aged separately for 11 months in old neutral French oak barrels before blending and then bottling at the end of the year. This wine is also produced from a Certified Heritage Vineyard (CHV) and forms part of the Old Vine Project (OVP), as the vineyard exceeds 35 years in age.
