Remarks: The 2019 growing year was difficult to manage after some unprecedented rainfall during ripening. The later red cultivars reached optimal sugars levels at a very slow pace due to temperatures dropping in March, resulting in very elegant red wines.

Kleine Zalze is an award-winning winery situated in the heart of the Cape Winelands, just two miles from: Stellenbosch. Winemaking has taken place on our estate on a small scale since 1695 but it was in 1996, when Kobus Basson and his family purchased the property, that the modern Kleine Zalze was born.

Our philosophy is simple success begins in the vineyards. Exceptional wines are made possible by selecting varieties and clones specifically suited to the various soils and slopes, and further careful management of the farm’s extensive natural assets.
