The “Kloof Street” series takes its name from the street in Riebeek-Kasteel where Chris and Andrea Mullineux lived when they began making wine, a nod to humble beginnings and relentless curiosity. Fruit for the Rouge blend is sourced from multiple old-vine parcels across the Swartland, planted on granite, shale and schist soils that lend a mix of ripe fruit concentration, spicy lift and minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"1925\"\u003eWinemaking blends respect for terroir with thoughtful craft: traditional techniques such as a high proportion of whole-bunch fermentation, native yeast ferment, and ageing in seasoned French oak help preserve freshness while adding subtle texture. Entirely sustainably farmed, these vineyards reflect both place and practice in a wine that shows both balance and personality without over-extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"1925\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"2038\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"1990\"\u003eMedium ruby with youthful vibrancy in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"2038\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2228\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"2049\" data-end=\"2052\"\u003ePerfumed and spicy, with dark berry fruit - blackberry and cherry - lifted by violet and wild herb notes and a hint of white pepper spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2228\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2230\" data-end=\"2631\"\u003ePalate:\u003cbr data-start=\"2241\" data-end=\"2244\"\u003eMedium-bodied and energetic, the palate shows juicy bramble fruit and red cherry, framed by savoury spice, subtle earthiness and fine yet supportive tannins.
