Superb wines are produced from great grapes. The viticulturist at Klawervlei ensures a perfect marriage between the terroir and the vine to ensure fine fruit exclusively for the wines. Klawervlei has typical Cote D'or soils and it's almost natural to select Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Shiraz as the new cultivars to compliment the wines produced.
In September / October 2004 a terroir typical Chenin Blanc made from grapes of almost 50 years old vines will be released. This crisp and well balanced wine is best enjoyed with fish or shellfish, a country terrine or even some spiced food.
Also to be released before Christmas is the Klawervlei Merlot. A wine made from well established Merlot vineyards which produced small berries and a low yield. This gives the concentrated colour and flavour which make the winemaker proud. This wine too is very well balanced and bursts with an abundance of flavours found in ripe berries. This wine will compliment spicy venison or game birds and off course a good steak and most cheese varieties.
