The Bottega family has taken South African wine destinations to new

heights with the Idiom Restaurant & Wine Tasting Centre at the home of

their award­winning Idiom wines.

The mountainous location, which is situated on the outskirts of Somerset

West near Sir Lowry’s Pass, boasts breathtaking views of the Helderberg

basin and the Cape Peninsula.

With scenic views and an iconic location, Idiom’s building had a lot to live

up to – and architect Thomas Leach ensured that it did. Bringing to life the

visions of Idiom owner Alberto Bottega and his son, Roberto, Leach

created a visual masterpiece to match Idiom’s granite­textured setting.

Combining the classic vineyard manor feel with an impactful modern edge,

the property fuses style with practicality.

“It fuses Old World, classically­styled Roman arches and stone porticos

with a New World timber pavilion and concrete wine­tasting cube to impart

a contemporary yet timeless feel,” says Leach.

With 360° views of Idiom’s vineyards, arches made from local stone

quarried on the farm and classic wooden beams, the structure is a modern

ode to nature.

“The concept at Idiom was to achieve a dialogue between the modern and

traditional, bringing together our family’s South African and Italian

heritage,” says Roberto Bottega. “The arched porticos and stone viewing

tower offer subtle reminders of our Italian heritage, while the concrete,

glass and timber structure reflect our South African roots. The fusion of

styles means that the building constantly surprises and looks different from

every angle.”
