Bloemcool Monster

A perfect match for roast lamb or rib of beef.

After being aged in oak for 29 months, only six barrels were selected for other remarkable oak-fruit balance whilst being bold and extreme in style. The final selection was 2/3 new oak and 1/3 second fill, 225L french oak barrels

The wine was fermented separately in foudres after handsorting and hand hand punched daily to extract bold colour and tannin. The raw, bold wines were then taken to barrels in 2017 for malolactic fermentation and aging.

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.
