The nose is spicy and perfumed with undertones of blackberry and cherry. Each variety in the blend adds balance to the wine. Tinta Barocca brings tannin, Cinsault brings perfume, Carignan brings freshness, Grenache brings fruit character, and the Syrah ties it all together.
Crafted by Chris and Andrea Mullineux, the Kloof Street wines represent balance, freshness and superb value. They are the perfect starting point for discovering Swartland wine.
The wines are named after the street Chris and Andrea lived on in Riebeek-Kasteel when they started making their own wines. Originally renting vineyards and cellar space, they registered their Liquor Licence to their home address, or as Chris puts it – “effectively semi-legally bootlegging out of our garage”. They now make some of the most lauded wines in South Africa, with Kloof Street serving as a reminder of their modest beginnings. This Chenin Blanc is Sourced from 40-year-old low-yielding ( three to six tonnes per hectare) vines. The fruit is whole bunch pressed then a proportion is fermented in stainless steel for freshness while the balance is fermented in old French oak barrels for texture.

Was referred to Rainbow Nations Wine from a friend. Glad they did! Great and informative selection. Even though I ordered close to Christmas the delivery was exceptional. Would recommend and refer.

Amazing selection of wines. I have ordered from them twice now and the wine arrived before the estimated delivery day, and very well packaged. And I should mention the great pricing for premium wines.
