A properly cooked steak. A glass of Hiervandaan 2023. No reason to rush dinner. Shiraz. Grenache Noir. Cinsault. Mourvèdre. Four grapes. One very good evening. #SolmsDelta #SouthAfricanWine #Hiervandaan

The best lunches have no fixed ending. Good food. Better company. A chilled bottle of Solms-Delta Rosé. That's a South African spring afternoon sorted. #SolmsDelta #RoseWine #SAWine

Spring in Franschhoek. Longer afternoons. Greener vineyards. Amalie on the table. Our 2024 Amalie earned five stars in Platter's 2026. A rather good way to welcome the season. #SolmsDelta #Amalie #SouthAfricanWine

Heritage isn’t just what we preserve. It’s what we pass on. Land. Stories. Food. Music. Wine. Community. From Solms-Delta, part of the Franschhoek story since 1690, Happy Heritage Day, South Africa. 🇿🇦 #HeritageDay #SolmsDelta #Franschhoek #SAwines

Grenache gets the headlines. We’ll take the Blanc. Solms-Delta Grenache Blanc 2024. Made in Franschhoek, best enjoyed wherever the afternoon takes you. Happy International Grenache Day! #SolmsDelta #GrenacheBlanc #GrenacheDay

1690 to 2026. More than three centuries of change in Franschhoek. Different generations. Different wines. Same remarkable place. We’re simply writing the next chapter. #SolmsDelta #Franschhoek #SouthAfricanWine

Know Grenache? Now meet Grenache Blanc. Less famous. Far too overlooked. And very much worth discovering. Start in Franschhoek. #SolmsDelta #GrenacheBlanc

1.37 million tons of grapes. South African wine at scale is impressive. South African wine one vineyard, one cellar and one bottle at a time is even more interesting. Our part of that story is Solms-Delta, Franschhoek.

Three centuries of history. One generation building what comes next. On International Youth Day, we celebrate that the future isn’t something we inherit. It’s something we make possible. #InternationalYouthDay #SouthAfrica #SolmsDelta #Franschhoek #YouthDay

Winter in Franschhoek. Something on the stove. A Solms-Delta bottle waiting its turn. That's June done right. Which one are you opening first?

National Wine Day. Not a bad excuse to open something from Franschhoek. Solms-Delta on the table. Evening, sorted. #SolmsDelta #Franschhoek #NationalWineDay #SouthAfricanWine

27 April. Freedom Day. Nelson Mandela reminded the world what leadership looks like. From Franschhoek, with respect. —

World Viognier Day. In Amalie 2023 and 2024, it’s not the headline; it’s what makes the blend come alive. #SolmsDelta #Viognier #Franschhoek #sawine

Earth Day, the Solms-Delta way. Rooted in the land. Reflected in every bottle. #EarthDay #SolmsDelta #SouthAfricanWine

We agree. South African wine didn’t suddenly improve. It’s just being noticed. Wines like our Amalie are part of that.

Sent to us by one of our long-time members. Not a bad way to end the night.

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."
