Damascene Vineyards

Damascene is a South African wine project defined by precision and purpose. Founded by Jean Smit, formerly of Boekenhoutskloof, and entrepreneur David Curl, the duo focuses on sourcing exceptional, established vineyards across the country. Their aim is simple: to craft small-batch wines that express the individuality of each region and varietal with absolute clarity.

A vision rooted in terroir

Jean and David share an uncompromising philosophy: great wine begins in the vineyard. They seek out mature, high-performing sites across South Africa, from the rugged slopes of Swartland to the historic soils of Stellenbosch. This meticulous approach ensures that every bottle reflects not only the varietal but the unique character of its landscape.


Wines of purity and precision

Damascene’s portfolio is a study in restraint and elegance. Expect the textured richness of Swartland Chenin Blanc, layered with stone fruit and almond, alongside the poised structure of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon, lifted by notes of cranberry and black cherry. These are wines crafted for those who value authenticity—regional, varietal, and uncompromisingly pure.
