The Dalkeith watering hole lies deep within the Kgalagadi. One of the most beautiful spots in the area, it rewards the patient. With only a few trees for shade, days are hot and long under the African sun. It’s here, during the gentle unfurling of dawn to dusk, that the animals gather and nature — or indeed the world — opens up.

Dalkeith is dedicated to the South African soil. Inspired by the endeavour of friends and the essence of three distinct vineyards, Kalmoesfontein and Jakkalsfontein in the Swartland and Koplandsteen in Stellenbosch, Dalkeith coaxes the purest expression of place, resulting in wines with a crystalline purity that vibrate with quiet energy. These are honest wines without pretence, yet unmistakably world-class South African fine wine, as thoughtful as they are thought provoking.
