Winery | Some of the oldest Clairette Blanche vineyards in South Africa are found in the Breedekloof, and the grapes for this wine come from a 36-year-old Clairette Blanche vineyard. The region is enclosed by three mountain ranges between the calm Atlantic Ocean and the warm Klein Karoo. The climate provides an ideal balance for a long hang time and slower grapes ripening. The warm, ample sunshine fully develops the grape’s sugars and aromatic flavour. At the same time, the cooling influence from the surrounding mountains helps retain natural acidity in the grapes, ensuring a fresh and vibrant wine profile. |
