AWARD-WINNING WINES – SOUTHERN STELLENBOSCH REGION
Idiom is a Celebration of Wine & Words
Idiom is based in the heart of the Helderberg range in Somerset West. This southernmost part of the Stellenbosch wine region provides the backdrop and the perfect climatic conditions for the incredible range of wines. A celebration of terroir, unusual varietals and masterful blends, Idiom is so-called because it is home to the Cape expression of so many European classics. The Cape Idiom, if you will.

FROM THE WINEMAKER
“There is a lot of room for expression and the ability to style wines in both a traditional way to appeal to clients looking for more reserved wines, and in a more modern way through bottling exceptionally aromatic single varietals.”
