Kloof Street Chenin Blanc shows aromas of sun-ripened pears and wet granite on the nose. The palate has a vibrant acidity balanced by a soft, round texture and pithy character. The finish displays a refreshing, saline edge.

Swartland is a hot and dry area, although it benefits to some degree from the Atlantic Ocean’s cooling effect on its western border. The viticulturists and vinemakers here specialise in producing high quality wines from varieties such as Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Rhône-inspired blends.
