Kleinood Tamboerskloof John Spicer Syrah 2015

Nestled in the picturesque Blaauwklippen Valley near Stellenbosch, Kleinood was discovered in 2000 as a hidden gem and transformed into an exclusive estate with olive groves. Ten hectares of vineyards and two hectares of olive trees blend harmoniously with the unspoilt nature of the property.

Kleinood stands for the symbiosis of science and passion, reflected in the production of authentic and elegant wines. The renowned ‘Tamboerskloof’ wines bear the name of the family’s former home and embody their deep connection to tradition and origin. Particularly outstanding is the ‘John Spicer Syrah’, whose grapes are vinified with the utmost precision.

The estate is divided into 23 micro-parcels, each cultivated individually and vinified separately. The winery combines state-of-the-art technology with artisanal expertise to reveal the full potential of every grape.

Kleinood is more than an estate – it is a homage to the art of viticulture, shaped by dedication, authenticity and a deep connection to terroir.

The Western Cape wine region is the heart of South African viticulture and home to many of the country’s finest estates. Cool, Atlantic-influenced coastal sites meet sun-drenched inland slopes – ideal for elegant yet powerful premium wines. Important origins such as Stellenbosch, Paarl, Swartland and Walker Bay produce highly distinctive styles: from mineral Chenin Blancs and fresh Sauvignon Blancs to barrel-aged Chardonnay, complex Bordeaux blends, Shiraz and Pinotage. Old bush vines, diverse soils such as granite, schist and sandstone, and sustainable viticulture shape the individual signature of the producers. Thanks to the moderate climate, the grapes ripen slowly while retaining freshness and aromatic depth – a hallmark of the best Western Cape wines. For explorers, the region offers a fascinating spectrum from precise terroir wines to iconic collector’s bottles.
