Swanepoel SMG 2022
Blend : Red
Description
Oude Compagnies Post, established in 1744, is a boutique farm where the Swanepoel family has produced wine since 1995, focusing on minimal intervention. The Swanepoel SMG 2022 is a premium red blend produced by Oude Compagnies Post in the Tulbagh Valley, featuring a composition of 42% Shiraz, 42% Mourvédre, and 16% Grenache. This small-batch wine is crafted by Dirk Swanepoel on the historic estate, known for elegant wines. A Rhône-inspired blend that brings together Shiraz/Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache from selected Western Cape vineyards. These Mediterranean varieties suit the Cape’s warm, dry conditions, producing naturally ripe fruit with spice and savoury depth. Shiraz provides dark fruit and pepper, Mourvèdre adds structure and earthy complexity, while Grenache contributes red fruit lift and suppleness. In the cellar the focus is typically on gentle extraction and measured oak maturation, aiming to showcase perfume, fruit purity and a supple texture rather than sheer power. The result is a modern Cape blend that’s characterful, food-friendly and easy to enjoy.
Colour:
Medium to deep ruby with a bright, youthful rim.
Nose:
Ripe raspberry, cherry and plum up front, supported by darker berry notes, black pepper, dried herbs, a touch of lavender and subtle oak spice.
Palate:
Medium bodied with a juicy core of red and dark berries. Fresh acidity and fine, lightly grippy tannins give shape without heaviness. Pepper, garrigue-like herb notes and a hint of cured meat add savoury interest, while well-judged oak sits in the background. The overall feel is supple and moreish rather than dense.
Finish:
Medium in length, with lingering red fruit, spice and a gentle, earthy savouriness.

Swanepoel SMG 2022
- Food Pairing : Swanepoel SMG 2022 is very comfortable with flavourful, medium-rich dishes. Its bright fruit and spice make it a natural partner for lamb chops or boerewors on the braai, where the tannins handle char and fat. It works well with rosemary-and-garlic roast chicken, tomato-based pasta with mince, or a hearty pizza with chorizo or mushrooms. For a meat-free option, try grilled aubergine, roasted vegetable and olive bakes, or a lentil and mushroom stew – the wine’s savoury notes and herbs echo roasted and Mediterranean flavours neatly.
