SWARTLAND BUILDING BRAND IN EUROPE

Swartland is one of South Africa's most recognizable brands abroad and

the cellar already exports wine to 42 countries worldwide. Our marketing

manager, Pieter Terblanche, recently travelled to Europe to expand and

strengthen Swartland's trade relationships on the continent. Pieter's

destinations included the UK, Austria, Poland and Belgium where he

conducted various trade visits.

Swartland Winery's trophy cabinet is overflowing with new additions after stellar performances at recent wine shows. We were awarded a sought-after double gold (grand d'or) medal at the Michelangelo International Wine Awards for the Bush Vine Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, as well as two gold and five silver medals. The Michelangelo Awards is widely regarded as one of South Africa's most authoritative wine competitions and entered wines are annually scrutinized by a large panel of esteemed international judges.

Two of our wines, the Swartland Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 and Swartland Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2013, also received gold awards at the 2014 Gold Wine Awards, a competition aimed at identifying the best value wines on the local market, thus guiding consumers in their purchasing decisions.

GOSPEL SKOUSPEL

Swartland Winery acted as official wine sponsor of the 2014 Gospel Skouspel, presented in conjunction with Radio Tygerberg. This popular music event, which features performances by the country's top artists, takes place annually at the Grand West Arena and this year has been expanded to include a show in Pretoria. Swartland is proud of our association with this world class production that provides an excellent platform for Afrikaans Christian music.
