HiteJinro Launches Three Types of South African Swartland Wines

HiteJinro, a leading comprehensive liquor company in Korea, announced on the 18th that it will launch three products from 'Swartland,' a representative winery in the Swartland region of South Africa.

Swartland Winery began in the Swartland region in 1948. In 1977, it established the region's first bottling line instead of bulk wine, producing, selling, and promoting high-quality wines. Currently, it produces premium wines using only good grapes from 3,600 hectares of vineyards.

All three newly launched products are made from 100% Chenin Blanc, South Africa's representative green grape variety, characterized by aromas of lemon·green apple·pear·and chamomile, along with a pleasant acidity.

'Swartland Bushvine Chenin Blanc' is the iconic wine representing the winery. It features the concentrated tropical fruit aroma unique to Swartland and a savory, creamy taste from oak barrel aging. It pairs well with cheese and bruschetta, grilled scallops and other shellfish dishes, as well as grilled vegetables like asparagus.

'Swartland Private Collection Chenin Blanc' is made from 100% grapes produced in the Swartland region. It is characterized by a rich fruit flavor with aromas blending stone fruits like white peach and citrus notes such as grapefruit. It pairs well with grilled fish or chicken dishes with creamy sauces and also goes well with fish cake or avocado salad.

'Swartland Founders Chenin Blanc' is an affordable wine with an easy-to-drink taste. It features a harmonious aroma of tropical fruits like guava and mango, along with citrus notes such as grapefruit and a fresh acidity. It pairs well with appetizers served before meals and is great with summer salads and sushi.

Yoo Tae-young, Executive Director of HiteJinro, said, "While the scale of wine imports decreased due to last year's economic downturn, white wine continues to be popular," adding, "Chenin Blanc from South Africa is even considered one of the top 10 trends in the UK wine market."
