But a few thousand bottles are made from only the finest grapes which uniquely express the terroir of the Strandveld. The Strandveld Vineyards range is crafted from grapes grown in specific soils – yellow ferricrete for the Sauvignon Blanc and white quartzite for the Syrah. These wines are the ultimate expression of the place and time of their creation. First Sighting pays homage to the great visi

on that inspired the Portuguese explorers to discover a sea route to the spice-rich East. In 1488 Bartholmeu Diaz had the first sighting of the southernmost tip of Africa. Today, the grapes for First Sighting wines are grown on Africa’s southernmost vineyards near Cape Agulhas. First Sighting wines fully express the terroir of the Elim ward, where varying soil types and relentless winds off the Atlantic ensure slow ripening, modest yields and intense flavours.

What does terroir really taste like?⁠

At Strandveld, our story begins long before the grapes are harvested. It’s written into the soils beneath our feet, the cool maritime climate of Elim, and the constant influence of the Southern Ocean.⁠

Our vineyards grow in ancient quartzite, ferricrete, shale and gravel soils. While you won’t taste the rocks themselves, you’ll experience the character they leave behind. A distinctive minerality in our white wines, elegant structure in our reds, and the unmistakable salinity that comes from vineyards growing at the southern edge of Africa.⁠

This is what makes Strandveld wines impossible to replicate. Every glass is an expression of place, shaped by the elements and defined by terroir.⁠

Here’s to the land that makes it all possible.⁠

Great wine starts with healthy vineyards, and healthy vineyards start with healthy soil.⁠

At Strandveld, regenerative farming is more than a philosophy. It's part of the rhythm of everyday life. Our cattle play an important role in nurturing the land, contributing to healthier soils, greater biodiversity and a balanced ecosystem that supports our vines for generations to come.⁠

Every decision we make on the farm is guided by respect for the land, because exceptional wines are grown in vineyards that are cared for long before the grapes are harvested.⁠

It's all part of preserving the unique character of Elim, one season at a time.⁠

Gather around the fire. Pour another glass. Stay a little longer.⁠

Some of the best memories are made outdoors, where good food is shared, stories are told, and every bottle brings people together. From relaxed picnic spreads by the dam to fireside feasts beneath the Elim sky, Strandveld is made for moments worth lingering over.⁠

Bring your favourite people, uncork something special, and let the landscape do the rest.⁠

International Shiraz Day deserves a wine with a story.⁠

At the southern edge of Africa, where cool ocean air meets ancient soils, our Syrah develops at its own pace. The result is a wine that reflects Elim with remarkable purity, balancing vibrant red fruit with savoury spice, earthy complexity and elegant structure.⁠

Every vintage is shaped by the elements, creating a Syrah that is expressive, refined and unmistakably Strandveld.⁠

Here's to celebrating a variety that continues to reward patience, place and craftsmanship. Happy International Shiraz Day.⁠
