David & Nadia is a first generation family owned Swartland project and they are members of the Swartland Independent Producers. With family roots in the Swartland dating back to 1757, they focus on dry land farmed bush vines, soil diversity, climate and people of one region only.

For this Grenache noir-based blend, they used grapes from nine different vineyards, picked on 13 days during the vintage. Their 2023 Elpidios includes two components (20% of the blend) that were fermented and matured in concrete vessels Grenache noir and Pinotage with a portion of Pinotage also maturing in their single 4 100 L foudre. As in previous years, the balance of wine making up this blend was matured in old 500 L neutral French oak barrels. Their winemaking regime here is mostly the same as for their main Grenache noir in terms of long, gentle extraction, the use of 40% on average whole bunches, and then pressing off. After bottling, the wine was aged in bottle for 18 months before release. This vintage is again based on grapes grown in granite soils from the Paardeberg, blended with structured shale/schists from the east, clay-rich soils from the north, and iron-rich soils from the west.

Blend: Grenache noir (26%), Syrah (24%), Carignan (22%), Pinotage (20%) and Cinsaut (8%).
