About the winery · Darling Cellars ›
Darling Cellars is located near the hamlet of Darling on South Africa's cool West Coast. The winery works with a large base of vineyards in an area shaped by Atlantic breezes, dry-land farming and bush vines. Its wines are positioned as approachable but expressive, with an emphasis on the Darling region's coastal climate and old-vine character. The Old Grain Silo Shiraz sits in the Heritage Collection and references the wheat and grain-silo landscape that is part of the area's farming history.
