Product Description
Gabriëlskloof is a beautiful wine estate located near Bot River in the Overberg region east of Cape Town. It was purchased in 2001 by Bernhard Heyns, who had been on the lookout for the ideal place to plant vines. After planting, his first vintage was in 2009. We felt compelled to add Gabriëlskloof to our list because Peter-Allan Finalyson, Bernhard’s son in law, took over as winemaker from the 2015 vintage. The farm has 300 hectares, with 68 hectares planted. The climate is cool with maritime influences coming from Walker Bay. We aim to make wines that are elegant and honest, and that will leave a lasting impression. The focus is on the best possible quality, from handpicked grapes to meticulous sorting, subtle pressing and maturation in oak barrels. All our wines are Wine of Origin Cape South Coast, Walker Bay District. The vineyards are farmed sustainably with the aim to move to organic farming in the future.
Magdalena is the result of the careful blending of the natural entities that make Gabriëlskloof unique. In the glass, the wine reflects the richness and minerality of the Walker Bay soils, the fruit perfume of the cultivars that results from our maritime climate, and is gentle, stylish and elegant on the finish.
