Saltare

Saltare means ‘to dance’ in Latin, a name that embodies movement, grace, and simplicity.

Summary

Carla focuses on sourcing fruit from very specific sites for quality, the careful use of reserve wines to maintain consistency, and long lees aging for texture and depth. Her wines are celebrated for their vibrancy, fine texture, and incredible longevity.

Saltare focuses on expressing delicate clarity and a natural liveliness, particularly through their exceptional Cap Classique range.

Each vintage is a curated journey across the Western Cape. Carla carefully selects the healthiest grapes from seven distinct vineyards, bringing them to her cellar near the historic heart of Stellenbosch. This meticulous sourcing allows every bottle to tell a unique story of the terroir and the dedicated hands that tend the vines. Whether it is the crisp, bone-dry precision of the Brut Nature or the soulful depth of their Old Vines Chenin Blanc, the commitment to consistently high quality is evident in every sip.

Saltare’s aesthetic is one of understated elegance. From their boutique tasting studio on the oak-lined “Die Laan” in Stellenbosch to the fine bubbles in your glass, the brand represents a sophisticated yet accessible side of South African winemaking. By focusing on the art of the blend and the integrity of the fruit, Saltare remains a benchmark for those who appreciate wines with a sense of place and a vibrant, energetic character.

Saltare’s range is anchored by elegant Cap Classique wines that emphasize natural liveliness and a bone-dry, “Brut Nature” precision. Alongside these bubbles, the collection features two still wines like the Swartland Syrah and Old Vines Chenin Blanc, which celebrate the specific character of the Western Cape’s diverse soils.
