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
Viognier 2024 is a masterclass in balance and finesse, with a nose that unfolds like a garden in bloom. The floral and fragrant notes of garden roses and orange blossom mingle with the juicy sweetness of peaches, the brightness of lime zest, and the subtle nuance of roasted almond. On the palate, the wine is a symphony of freshness and depth, with a perceived sweetness that adds complexity and a finish that lingers like a warm summer’s breeze.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with perfumed Indian curry, grilled line fish or a creamy pasta dish.
