Ongoing Experimentation
Thinking outside the wine box. Experimentation at Solms-Delta centres on developing the best wine styles that can be made under South African conditions, rather than emulating what is done elsewhere. The building blocks of this work in progress are:
- The grape varietals of Southern Europe.
- The desiccation technique of the ancient Greeks.
- The varietals brought to the Cape 350 years ago that have developed unique characters here.
Now it’s time to play – by combining these fundamentals in imaginative ways, and (more recently) even introducing South Africa’s rich heritage of indigenous ingredients and traditional beverages into the mix.
