Bloemcool
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.
Description
Dark ruby colour in the glass. This is a classic Bordeaux style wine with aromas of graphite, forest floor and black current (cassis). The wine has lots of tea leaf spiciness and red current flavours on the palate with firm tannins, typical of these varieties.
