Grape varietals are the two principal types found in the Western Cape – Syrah and Chenin Blanc – from which different bottlings are produced depending on soil type and age of the vines. This set of wines is called the “Single terroir” series. Entry level wines are made under the Kloof Street label.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
A creamy medium- to full-bodied white with an intriguing mix of lush creamed almond and beeswax notes enmeshed with baked melon crushed pine persimmon and preserved lemon. Bright with succulent acidity this is finely knit with spice and graphite notes on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2026.
