The inside track
The estate
Klein Roosboom is a historic boutique winery in the Durbanville Wine Valley, famous for its unique wine tastings held inside converted concrete wine tanks known as caves.
Durbanville
Nestled in the picturesque Durbanville wine valley, Klein Roosboom is a haven for wine enthusiasts and seekers of unique experiences. Renowned for its multi-award-winning wines, this hidden gem offers an array of delightful surprises, from deli seating nestled amidst the vineyards to tastings conducted in old concrete wine tanks lovingly referred to as caves. It’s no wonder that Klein Roosboom has earned a reputation as Cape Town’s best-kept secret.
Wine
Situated at the entrance to the magnificent Durbanville wine valley, Klein Roosboom benefits from the coastal influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. The cool afternoon breezes envelop the vineyards, nurturing the grapes and infusing them with delicate flavours. The estate’s range of wines includes exceptional varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Bandana Blanc, and Shiraz. The vineyards thrive in the nutrient-rich soils of Hutton, Oakleaf, and Clovelly, while the south-facing slopes provide the ideal conditions and climate for cultivating Cabernet, Shiraz, and Merlot grapes. The cellar menu at Klein Roosboom features a tantalizing selection of culinary delights to savour alongside your wine tasting.
Indulge in a seasonal Chef’s plankie, designed to perfectly complement your wine experience, or choose from a range of delectable cheese and charcuterie platters. For an unforgettable experience, ask to be taught the old French art of Sabrage, a technique that adds a touch of grandeur to enjoying Cap Classique sparkling wine. The friendly and knowledgeable wine stewards are always ready to share the captivating stories of the farm and their deep understanding of the wines.
