About this winery

Located in Paarl, one of Cape Town's most beautiful wine regions, is the Perdeberg winery. The distinctive quality of Perdeberg wines is the predominant use of non-irrigated vineyards, hence Dry Land. Overcoming harsh growing conditions, dryland vines produce small berries with concentrated flavor and color which in turn create superior wines.

Aromatic wine with flavors of red berry and cherry. The palate is spicy, supple and easy to drink.
