Kloof Street Wines

Kloof Street Swartland Rouge

Our Kloof Street range is all about freshness, balance and great drinkability.

Grapes for our 2011 Kloof Street red were sourced from six vineyard parcels in different parts of the Swartland: One parcel of Mourvedre grown on the rolling, iron-rich soils west of Malmesbury; one parcel of Syrah and one parcel of Cinsault planted in the stony Shale and Schist based soils of Riebeek Kasteel Mountain; and one parcel of dry land, bushvine Syrah, one Carignan, and one Grenache all grown in the decomposed Granite of the Paardeberg mountain. Vines are aged between 12 and 40 years. We lease each parcel on a long term basis, and have close and direct involvement in their viticultural management.

This blend of Southern Rhone varieties has a perfumed nose of violets, spice and purple fruits. The medium bodied, food-friendly palate is finely textured with firm but approachable tannins and a fresh, energizing finish.

Kloof Street Chenin Blanc

Our Kloof Street range is all about freshness, balance and great drinkability.

Grapes for our 2012 white blend come from three vineyard parcels in different parts of the Swartland: One parcel of 32 year-old Chenin Blanc planted in the stony Shale and Schist based soils of Riebeek Kasteel Mountain, and two parcels of 40+ year-old dry land, bush vine Chenin grown in the decomposed Granite of the Paardeberg mountain. We lease each parcel on a long term basis, and have close and direct involvement in their viticultural management.

This wine has a nose of sun ripened pears and wet granite. The palate is fresh and clean with a slight creamy texture and richness on the finish.
