Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Our 2021 Kloof Street Rouge brims with beautiful dark berry fruit on both the nose and palate. This Swartland medley shows great balance, rounded with hints of holiday spice on the finish. Each variety in the blend adds depth to the wine – the Cinsault brings perfume, Tinta Barocca brings tannin, the Grenache brings fruit character, and the Syrah ties it all together. Enjoy now and over the next 2-3 years.
The grapes for our 2021 Kloof Street Rouge come from six sustainably farmed vineyard parcels in different parts of the Swartland, aged 7-48 years: Two parcels of Syrah and one parcel of Cinsault and Grenache each from the stony Shale and Schist based soils of Roundstone farm at the foot of Kasteelberg; and the Tinta Barocca and another parcel of Syrah, all from the decomposed Granite of the Paardeberg.
This wine was matured for 11 months in 3rd and 4th fill French oak 225L barrels & 500L demi-muids, as well as large upright wooden vats."
92/100 James Suckling (2021 Vintage)
"Pure and juicy red with notes of wild cherries, violets and cracked pepper. Soft and supple with a medium body and silky, soft tannins. Touch of mint on a delicious finish."
