Behind the wines created by Flagstone winery in Western Cape- South Africa stands the oenologist Gerhard Swart. Once he purchased the winery in 2008, he brought Flagstone to another level. Gehard’s motto is that the only way to create good quality wines is by hard work and great passion.The key grape varieties used to make these good quality wines are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Malbec, Pinotage, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay.

Stellenbosch Wines

Stellenbosch is the most famous wine region in South Africa and is home to the country’s most famous wine estates. Stellenbosch is also notable for being the birthplace of Pinotage (a crossing of Pinot Noir and Cinsaut). South African wines from Stellenbosch are mostly known for their Cabernet Sauvignon which is often mixed with Merlot to recreate Bordeaux Blend wines. For white wine lovers Stellenbosch produces excellent Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. Enjoy our selection of Stellenbosch wines!

Cabernet Sauvignon Wines

Indigenous to Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most famous black skinned grape variety in the world. In fact it is the product of a natural genetic crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. Besides its fame in Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon wines are highly regarded in the New World wine regions especially in California, Chile and South Australia. Undoubtedly the finest Cabernet Sauvignon wines are found in Bordeaux and California, a viewpoint supported by the 1976 Judgment of Paris.
