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
A light golden wine with intense aromas of tangerine and orange blossom that follow through with peaches to the palate. The palate offers additional spices and apricot, along with good texture. A wine which shows restraint with a fresh entry leading into good weight on the mid-palate allowing it to linger longer
Food Pairing
The Tamboerskloof Viognier 2022 is a versatile food-wine pairing wine, and compliments anything from a perfumed Indian curry to grilled line fish.
