DESCRIPTION
Vinified by the family-run Kleinood estate, Tamboerskloof Buurman showcases the finesse of Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc. Its name, Buurman (“neighbor” in Afrikaans), pays tribute to the bonds and conviviality that unite people in this iconic wine region.
This 100% Chenin Blanc, certified vegan, displays a pale yellow hue and aromas of wildflowers and white pear. The crisp, vibrant palate blends lime, pineapple, and passion fruit, leading to an elegant finish with hints of chamomile and mandarin.
Carefully crafted, this Steen (the local name for South African Chenin Blanc) comes from hand-harvested grapes. It is fermented in a concrete egg and then aged in French oak barrels, achieving a balanced texture and lovely length. Enjoy with fish, seafood, or spicy Thai cuisine.
REGION
Stellenbosch
South Africa
Stellenbosch is arguably the most prestigious wine region in South Africa. Located in the coastal region of the Western Cape, east of Cape Town, it enjoys a Mediterranean climate tempered by sea breezes and sheltered by the surrounding mountains. Its varied terroir of granite, schist and sandy soils makes it possible to produce both powerful reds and elegant whites.
While Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends (with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) built its reputation, Stellenbosch is also known for its refined Chenin Blanc, distinguished Chardonnay and expressive Syrah. Home to many iconic estates, the appellation remains a showcase of South African craft.
