Du Toitskloof Wines
Iconic moments happen around tables. Over the past few decades, Du Toitskloof has earned and enjoyed a profound place at South African tables. Du Toitskloof Wines sources the majority of their grapes for their ranges from the Breedekloof valley, all within a 10km radius of the cellar. This sees to it that all the grapes share similar soil types and micro-climates. With a large array of different terroirs, the cellar makes wine with grapes that have grown along cool mountain slopes, in alluvial soils with high water-retention capabilities as well as sandy and rocky soils.
Description
Complex range of eucalyptus, spice, peppercorn and granadilla flavours are supported by subtle smoky undertones from 10 months maturation in French oak. A well-balanced wine with supple tannins and smooth finish.
Food Pairing
Go bold with kudu sirloin in a tingly black pepper crust or the kind of kitchen surprise offered by tender beef heart. Add spice to the comfort zone with oxtail tomato bredie and cinnamon dusted pumpkin fritters. Stay with Shiraz for dark chocolate brownies studded with Turkish Delight, tempering the sweet with soft cheese.
