      Fresh & Mineral

      After working several vintages at wineries in France, South Africa and California, Chris & Andrea chose to settle in the Swartland region of South Africa, firmly believing that the granite and schist based terroirs and the old vineyards had the potential to produce truly great wine. They were not wrong.

      The Kloof Street range is all about freshness, balance and great drinkability. This wine has notes of sun ripened pears and wet granite. The palate has a vibrant acidity balanced by a soft, round texture and some pithy character. The wine has a fresh, mineral finish.

      We recommend to pair this zesty wine with ceviche-style dishes. Pasta al pesto is another terrific pairing option!

      4 Stars

      ‘Intro to the Swartland, rather than entry-level wine.’ 2020 preview subtle white peach & pear fruit, satisfying breadth & depth from older vines, signature long mineral finish. Tasted by Cathy van Zyl.

      Kloof Street is the entry level label from winemakers Chris and Andrea Mullineux and is always a reference point for the rich and refreshing personality of chenin blanc from South Africa’s Swartland region. Full of life and flavour, this offers honey and floral accents to the pleasing peach and pear notes. Vegan friendly. Drink now to 2023.

      Floral & Fresh

      After working several vintages at wineries in France, South Africa and California, Chris & Andrea chose to settle in the Swartland region of South Africa, firmly believing that the granite and schist based terroirs and the old vineyards had the potential to produce truly great wine. They were not wrong.

      The Kloof Street range is all about freshness, balance and great drinkability. The Swartland Rouge is a Mediterranean style red blend based on Syrah with other Rhône varieties. This seductive blend of Southern Rhône varieties has a perfumed nose of violets, spice and purple fruit. The medium to full bodied, food-friendly palate is finely textured with firm but approachable tannins and a fresh, lingering finish.

      This wine is excellent with grilled lamb, roast pork, and charred broccoli rabe.
