The name Tamboerskloof means the valley (kloof) of the drums (tamboer). When the Dutch settled in the Cape in 1652 lookout posts manned with spotters were established on the hills and mountains around the peninsula. The first spotter was placed where the suburb of Tamboerskloof lies today. These spotters drummed the message of an approaching ship from one lookout post to the next until the farmers in the surrounding valleys heard the drums and proceeded to harvest their crops and hasten to Cape Town harbour with their wagons in order to meet the ship on arrival. Before moving to the Boland Gerard, Libby and their two children Spicer and Katharien lived in this Cape Town suburb for 25 years. Thus with the fondest memories and the need to acknowledge the happy years they had spent there they named their wine Tamboerskloof.
Description
The elegant Katharien Rosé 2024 is soft pink sunset against a clear sky. The nose offers a delightful blend of cherry sweetness, a zesty twist and subtle hints of red pepper spice and delicate violet aromas. The entry is dry, yet full-bodied, with a mesmerising texture. The aftertaste is a symphony of flavours - from sweet cherry and allspice to refreshing watermelon, orange zest, and white peach.
Food Pairing
The Rosé 2024 will pair well with light salads, light pastas, seafood, and goats’ cheeses. Ideally served chilled at 10°C.
