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.

The colour is the glass shows a light golden hue with a tinge of orange. The wine is complex with layers orange rind spring blossoms and dried mango on the nose. The pithy tannin lends a typical minerality (think sea salt) with nectarines and citrus fruit and lots of texture on the finish.
