Dewaldt Heyns

Swartland producer of Shiraz, Chenin Blanc, and Pinotage with critical recognition.

Dewaldt Heyns operates in Swartland, the Western Cape's dynamic inland region known for bold reds and expressive whites. The winery's Weathered Hands range demonstrates the region's capacity for serious winemaking. The Shiraz shows the variety's characteristic dark fruit and spice, while the Chenin Blanc captures the mineral precision and complexity that have made South African examples increasingly sought after. The Pinotage, a grape native to South Africa, rounds out a portfolio rooted in both international and local expression. Wine Advocate and Decanter have both assessed the winery's output, reflecting its standing among critics engaged with contemporary South African wine.
