Voluptuous, statuesque, stylish, with ripe stone fruit richness superbly poised on an acid and mineral backbone. Pear, peach, apple plus some yeasty complexity on the nose. The palate shows impressive purity yet richness and bright acidity with a slightly savoury finish.
Reviews:
- Tim Atkin: the “project” grew and today the cornerstones of the Project Z wines are a selection of vineyards on extraordinary sites and an impressive collection of Italian amphorae that were steadily acquired since 2015. And of course, a dedicated, committed, and skillful team.
Producer Information
If you have tasted wines worldwide, you would know that South African wines are known for their uniqueness. The grapes grown in South Africa are known for their full-bodied and elegant character. Kleine Zalze, located in the wine-rich region of Stellenbosch, is one such rich wine label, which is an excellent blend of richness and comfort. The history of the Kleine Zalze wines dates back to 1695, when the South African wine industry founder, Simon van der Stel, planted the first vines in the region, which is within 3km distance from Stellenbosch. The beautiful climatic conditions and the diverse soil qualities found in the vineyards here are suitable for producing red and white wines. Though the 90-hectare vineyard’s first vines were planted in 1695, the first wine from this label came out in 1997.Like most popular wine labels globally, Kleine Zalze gives importance to three important factors while making its wines. They are vineyards, cellars and the people.
