Carpaccio, charcuterie, stews and other bold flavoured dishes

Currently 28 hectares of vines are planted on the 110 hectare farm. Core varietals planted are: Cabernet, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Pinotage, Shiraz and Chardonnay. Klapmuts has a warmer climate but receives a cooling breeze from the south on many hot summers days. It is a good area for Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aspects of the vineyards vary but are generally northerly and west facing.
