Kleinood

Gerard and Libby de Villiers acquired the fruit farm that became Kleinood in 2000, on the slopes of the Helderberg outside Stellenbosch. Of its 12 arable hectares, ten were planted to vines and two to olives. Kleinood means something small and precious, while Tamboerskloof recalls the Cape Town neighbourhood where the family lived for 25 years.

Syrah became the central variety, with vineyard blocks managed and vinified separately. The labels are printed on an antique press, torn and applied by hand.
