Kleinood Tamboerskloof Grenache Blanc
(inkommer)
2022
Kleinood Tamboerskloof Chenin Blanc (buurman)
A collection of rare Tamboerskloof wines
inspired by the exceptional grapes that cross our path.
“The charm of these wines lies in the quality of the grapes,
the care of the hands that create them,
and the soul of the places that they come from.”
Each wine comes in a recycled paper bag,
tied at the top with a thinly cut tyre tube.
This is a pale straw-coloured wine has a lively nose,
starting with wild flower and white pear.
Kleinood Tamboerskloof Grenache Blanc (inkommer)
“We stumbled upon a special block of Grenache Blanc in the Piekenierskloof,
and couldn’t resist making this wine.”
inkommer = johnny-come-lately / outsider
This is a deep straw-coloured wine has a vibrant nose,
starting with Persian lime, lemon zest and goose berries.
The elegance of honey suckle adds a sweet perfumed finish.
The entry is sweet with mild acidity,
that follows through to orange zest flavours.
Medium length and good textured weight on the mid-palate,
the wine finishes with fresh toast and marmalade.

Kleinood Tamboerskloof Mourvédre (meevaller)
Kleinood Tamboerskloof Mourvédre (meevaller) 2022
From the small patch of fickle Mourvèdre grapes grown on Kleinood Farm, the Tamboerskloof Syrah takes its share. With this vintage, what remained was too good to waste, and we created this wine.
meevaller = money from home, a windfall
Only 3 barrels produced.
The medium-light colour and the attractive strawberry and spice on the nose suggest a light bodied, even frivolous, wine. However, the leather, tobacco box and mocha notes allude to something more.
With the fresh entry fresh showing sour cherry and strawberry, the wine moves to good weight on the mid-pallet and texture all-round with hints of oak, vanilla and spice.
The finish lingers on with chocolate and cherry, yet stays focussed due to a good acidity level.
An exceptional combination of weight and texture with a youthful freshness.
