DC Premium
Darling Cellars Premium comes from specific vineyards which are selected for their uniqueness in prominent terroir flavours. These vineyards are planted in the best terroir for the specific varietal. Vineyards are carefully monitored by the winemaker who ultimately decides when the grapes will be harvested. These grapes are handled separately in the cellar to preserve their natural quality and uniqueness.
Darling Cellars Premium is a dedicated concept from site selection, through to the final drop in the glass at the end of a bottle
Sauvignon Blanc 2010
This wine displays passion fruit, green figs and flinty aromas on the nose. The palate shows mineral complexity with a well-rounded balance and a persistent aftertaste. Seafood dishes, creamy chicken dish or a garden salad in early summer - the perfect accompaniment!
Read moreKroon 2007
A unique blend in South Africa, and for that matter, in the world! With all components fermented together, another unique concept comes to the fore. This wine is from the beginning destined to be Kroon. Thus only the best grapes are used for this small production of our Flagship wine. Deep colour and intense aromas of plum, chocolate and spices like cinnamon and vanilla. The wood is very well integrated with the fruit flavours. This is a full bodied wine with a good balance of alcohol, acidity, tannin and fruit. Will complement good food like red meat or venison dishes.
Read moreCabernet Sauvignon 2008
An example of pure Cabernet Sauvignon fruit, with aromas of wood, ripe blackberries and cassis on the nose. It is a juicy, well structured wine with a hint of ripeness on the palate and an abundance of black fruit. The finish is long and smooth, with a slight smokiness. The tannin structure is firm but by no means aggressive, to emphasise the varietal characteristic. Further bottle ageing will have the wine soften a bit and with the nice acidity, this is a wine will last another 6 -9 years in a cellar.
Read moreNoble Late Harvest
This Noble Late Harvest was made in a Sautern style, with lower sugar and light wood influences. The wine shows typical Botrytis flavours of dried fruit and good concentration on the palate. The sugar, acid and alcohol is well balanced and the wood maturation adds to the complexity and structure of this sweet wine. Serve cold with soft cheese.
Read morePinotage 2009
Red and black berries with spicy wood flavours make up the complex nose of this fine Pinotage . A full bodied wine, with underlying complexity and supporting wood aromas. Enjoy with food from 2011 to 2016.
Read moreShiraz 2008
Showing its Darling heritage with black forest fruits, a hint of plum, dark chocolate and black pepper on the nose. The soft tannins and smokiness will mature into typical truffle, meaty and savoury Darling Syrah! Nothing overripe, but full bodied and integrated… Age for a maximum of 8 years and savour with friends, food and…or maybe just spoil yourself…
