FROM OUR FARM TO YOUR GLASS
We believe that to love wine is always, really, to love people. Wine brings people together. Think of your happiest memories. The likelihood is that wine will have been on the table.
Making great wine, therefore, is an act of love.
The vineyards rest in the foothills of the Stellenbosch mountains, five kilometres away from, and in sight of, the Atlantic Ocean. In the afternoons, a gentle breeze from False Bay rustles the vines, cooling the grapes that ripen in the morning and late afternoon sun. Our unique terroir is made up of a variety of soils, including the region’s native ‘koffie klip’ (literally, ‘coffee rock’), a soil rich in iron that produces wines with a fresh crispness and elegance.
The vineyards rest in the foothills of the Stellenbosch mountains, in sight of the Atlantic Ocean. Inspired by the Dorper sheep residing on the Klein Welmoed Estate, this range is true to their unfussy charm, effortlessly enjoyed and easy to love.
Foothills is a range of crisp, fresh wines, that brings joy, fun, and happy times. It’s made to be shared with the people you love over good food.
Sauvignon Blanc
Bright and refreshing, with notes of lemongrass, papaya, and greengage, this wine is a fresh take on a Cape classic. A touch of Semillon rounds it off with softness and depth.
Dry Rosé
A crisp, dry and quietly complex wine of a pale salmon colour. Layers of strawberry, melon and fynbos unfold with each sip of this Shiraz, Semillon and Viognier blend.
Syrah
Aged in small French barrels for twelve months, this wine is a deep ruby colour and has aromas of dark plum, spice and a touch of prosciutto. It is plush and savoury on the palate with a smooth, generous finish.
Monogram is our flagship range of more sophisticated and matured wines. It is inspired by Jack, our first sheepdog, who watched over the farm before we arrived and is part of its DNA. His spirit lives on in this wine: noble, timeless, and much loved by us all.
The Monogram range is where viticulture and our unique terroir are given true expression. We believe that great wines are made in the vineyard, and so cut no corners. We are patient, making sure each wine receives the time and care it requires to develop its full potential. The wines are gently aged in a combination of new and old oak to produce a smooth, warm feel of elegance and grace.
Shiraz
A full-bodied red with layers of dark fruit, Belgian chocolate, spice, white pepper, and a touch of espresso. Aged in new and old oak for sixteen months, and matured in the bottle for another sixteen months, this wine is bold, smooth and confidently structured.
Pinot Noir
Raspberry, cassis and a hint of buchu on the nose. Silky texture, elegant structure and just enough oak to frame the fruit. A quiet standout from a cool climate.
Straw Wine
Made from air-dried Viognier grapes, this is a dessert wine with real intensity. Dried apricot, pineapple and a nutty, savoury edge come together in a long, golden finish.
This wine has won multiple awards, including the Michelangelo Double Gold award for the 2018 vintage.
