Bloemcool Berg en Dal

A perfect match for roast lamb or rib of beef.

After 12 months in oak this wine was botteled and allowed to bottel aged for a further 12 months.

Grapes were hand picked in the early morning and pressed as whole bunches and the juice settled for a couple of days. The free run juice was transferred to 225L French oak barrels for aging. The wine was battronaged during barrel aging to facilitate lees contract and developement of mouthfeel.

In 1693, the first vineyards were planted at the top of Bloemkoolfontein farm, today known as Fairview. Over the years, we’ve reinvested our efforts back into the land, replanting vines that suit the soils and expanding our vinicultural horizons every step of the way. Needless to say, this cultivated investment has yielded world class wine. Yet it’s also done something else. Something even more special. Behind closed cellar doors, and with access to handpicked parcels and rare varieties, our winemakers’ have had the vanguard freedom to push the boundaries and refine their craft. The result is Bloemcool – an esoteric, age-worthy wine that brims with elegance and tales to tell. We’ve even embraced our heritage by repurposing past bottles and hand-making labels that are implanted with real cauliflower seeds, encouraging the new keeper of the wine to let the story of Bloemcool perpetually live on.
