Get to know Paardenkloof

The vineyards and wines produced by PaardenKloof represent its core business. The existing vineyards span 23 hectares in total. The year 2019 will see the planting of a further six hectares, which will add two new varietals, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc, to PaardenKloof’s existing range of Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc wines. The tonnages per hectare are kept small in order to achieve great quality. The harvest is limited to between six and eight tons per hectare to intensify flavours and terroir in the small grape berries.

We have continuously shown respect for our harvests, focusing on time, the natural environment, the climate and the soil structure to ensure a healthy harvest. Paired with our sophisticated vineyard management, hand-harvesting practices and passion, we have ensured that PaardenKloof wines give true expression to their unique location, while also perfectly mirroring their own unique personalities…read more
