Spice Route

Paarl winery crafting Rhône-style blends and single varietals from the Western Cape.

Spice Route sits in Paarl, within the Coastal Region of South Africa's Western Cape. The winery focuses on Rhône and southern French varietals adapted to the region's warm, maritime climate. Malabar, a structured blend of Tannat, Mourvèdre, Shiraz, Petite Sirah, and Carignan, anchors the portfolio. The Flagship Syrah expresses the varietal's dark fruit and peppery character in the South African context. A single-varietal Grenache rounds out the core offerings. Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff have all assessed the winery's releases, with Malabar earning particular recognition among prestige critics.
