Solms Delta

New Year. Old Roads. At Solms-Delta, the future has always been built on what came before. The land remembers. The road endures. The work continues.

Women have always been part of the story of wine — in the vineyard, the cellar, and across the industry shaping its future. Today we raise a glass to the women helping move South African wine forward. 🍷 #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInWine

Syrah doesn't do subtle. Rich, dark, spiced — the wine equivalent of a good plot twist. Happy International Syrah Day. Pour accordingly. 🍷 #SyrahDay #Hiervandaan #CapeJazzShiraz

Year of the Horse. Momentum. Discipline. Power. 2026 — let it run. 🍷 Solms-Delta

Tim James is spot on! "Such wineries are not only helping collapse the institution, but, I’d suggest, also failing the wine-drinking community and tourists."

165 years. One origin. Global respect. South African wine didn’t ask for permission — it proved itself. 🍷 #HappyBirthdaySAWine

Jamie Goode’s The Science of Tasting Wine is still the clearest thinking on red wine—cause and effect, not romance. That’s how we build Hiervandaan at Solms-Delta: tannin structure, phenolic balance, and evolution over time—not how it tastes on day one. #redwine #jamiegoode

A Christmas view worth opening a great bottle for. Franschhoek in the glass. Tokyo in lights. Merry Christmas from Solms-Delta. 🍷🎄 #MerryChristmas #SolmsDelta #Hiervandaan #Tokyo #Japan

Today, we pause for Reconciliation Day. South African wine carries a complex past and a shared responsibility. We don't pretend that a single day resolves that. But we do believe in doing the work and building something that reflects the full story of this land and its people.
