Idiom is a range of exclusive, award-winning wines hailing from Da Capo 
Vineyards, owned by the Bottega family. The vision of proprietor Alberto Bottega
is to produce a wide range of rich, interesting and high quality wines expressed in 
a Cape idiom, each as unique and enjoyable as the next: a selection of wines of 
outstanding pedigree that comprise The Idiom Collection.

The vineyards are located in the southernmost part of the Stellenbosch wine region near Sir Lowry’s Pass, overlooking False Bay. The farm is home to fourteen cultivars, including some of the rarer Mediterranean & Italian grape varietals such as
Nebbiolo, Sangiovese & Primitivo (Zinfandel).

The Idiom Collection is best known for its iconic blends, including a Cape Blend, Bordeaux-style blend and Rhone-style blend. Recently, Idiom has released the 
extremely limited 900 Series – wines that are considered exceptional enough to 
warrant special appreciation in a typical quantity of only three barrels (900 bottles).

Idiom has also just released a bespoke perfume, the first in a compendium of luxury products to fall under The Idiom Collection that will celebrate expressions by talented South African designers and artists.

Idiom by Tammy was created by Tammy Frazer of Frazer Parfum and emphasises 
the heritage and nature of South Africa. This rare scent is a libation perfume 
inspired by the Idiom Cape Blend and echoes the seductive nature of the wine’s pinotage base.
