Kloovenburg The Village Red 2024

Kloovenburg The Village Red 2024

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

Uncomplicated yet intriguing wine that has a slight chocolate creamy roundness.

The Village Red is 49 % Grenache, 32% Shiraz, 14% Garnacha Peluda, 5% Mourvèdre. Garnacha Peluda is a Catalonian mutation of Grenache names after its hairy leaves – lighter in potential alcohol and colour than its parent it has enhanced drought resistance too.

All grapes are handpicked during the early morning hours. Natural fermentation takes place in open fermenters. Extraction is obtained by light pump overs twice a day. After fermentation is completed, the wine is left on the skins for another seven days and then pressed to neutral barrels. Malolactic fermentation is completed in the barrel. The wine is then racked from the lees and given a low dose of sulphur. The wine spends a total of 10 months in the barrel before it is bottled.

Having been registered on 26th September 1704, some 313 years ago, Kloovenburg is the oldest registered property in the Swartland, but only by half an hour. The farm is based on the edge of Kasteelberg, the mountainous granite fin slicing through the wheatbelt that overshadows the small town of Riebeek-Kasteel. Specifically, Kloovenburg is in the ward of Riebeekberg and has been growing for many decades Shiraz, Chardonnay and other classic local cultivars. Recently this established, ancient farm has very much been part of the independent Swartland movement in terms of recognising the local shale and granite soils and increasingly successful plantings of Grenache Blanc, Grenache Noir and Carignan as well as their more traditional roster of grapes. Since 2014 the winemaker here has been the hugely-talented Jolandie Fouche whose energy and passion for this evolving region is evident in her amazing Shiraz, Grenache, and Chardonnay. Pieter du Toit, the third-generation family owner of the farm has long championed the region and his family is reflected in the Eight Feet Red and White blends, the feet being the four pairs found on his sons.
