For the First Time at Riga Food – South African Winery Arid Wines!

This year, South African winery Arid & Co will make its debut at Riga Food, presenting wines from three of the country’s most renowned wine regions – Robertson, Paarl, and Stellenbosch.

The company’s wines are crafted from carefully selected grapes. Stellenbosch is renowned for its premium red wines, Robertson is celebrated for expressive Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay made from historic vineyards, while Paarl offers a rich diversity of grape varieties that add depth and character to the wines.

The philosophy behind Arid Wines is based on minimal intervention in the natural winemaking process, allowing the unique character of both the grapes and their region of origin to shine through. Particular attention is given to harvesting grapes at optimal ripeness, carefully controlled fermentation, and meticulous ageing in French oak barrels to achieve a harmonious balance of fruit flavours and elegant oak notes.

The wines are vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and unfiltered, preserving their natural character and authenticity.

Visitors to Riga Food 2026 will have the opportunity to discover the Arid Wines collection, taste premium South African wines, and learn more about the company’s commitment to quality and sustainable winemaking.
