Fíon Focus #4: South Africa

Written By Darog Wine Bar

Fíon Focus South Africa - The Line Up

For our next Fíon Focus, we journey into the wines of South Africa, a land of dramatic landscapes, old vines, and a deep winemaking heritage. These wines capture the energy of the land—bold, fresh, and full of character. Rooted in tradition yet shaped by innovation, each bottle tells a story of place, passion, and craftsmanship

We’ve selected four wines in four distinct styles, each showcasing the diversity of South Africa’s regions, grape-growing conditions, and winemaking techniques. Enjoy this curated wine flight—four wines (each 90ml pour) for €35—and experience the depth and vibrancy of this incredible wine scene.

What is Fíon Focus?
Updated throughout the year, Fíon Focus is our way of exploring unique wines and celebrating exceptional winemakers. Fíon—the Irish word for wine—captures our mission to highlight diverse grape varieties and remarkable stories from the world of wine. Each edition features a specially curated wine flight, offering a selection of wines that showcase regional character, winemaking styles, and the essence of their origins
