However, many studies have provided conflicting evidence of the effects of resveratrol, a compound fou...If wine scores are your thing, check this out!
We were recently visited by #capewinemaster David March who tasted and scored our wines. We are very proud of the scores that we got, but particularly those of our red wines!
Cabernet Franc: 91 points
Cabernet Sauvignon: 90 points
Sir Lowry Classic Blend: 91 points
These wines have remarkable ageing potential and the quality is reflected by the excellent scores above. Come taste these superb wines at our tasting room - we are open every Saturday from 11am to 4pm.
www.stellenboschwinereview.co.za/wp-content/uploads/Onderkloof.pdfAn eventful day here at Onderkloof! We had Cape Wine Master David March for a tasting, as well as several tasting groups. We are also harvesting now, so Yves was hard at work sampling a couple of #sauvignonblanc and #chardonnay fermentations. Chardonnay grapes were also pressed and finally Eskom also paid its respects by sending us some unwelcome #loadshedding.
Our very own staircase to heaven? Or maybe just to good wine? Come and visit our tasting room and decide for yourself - we are open every Saturday from 11am to 4pm.

Dr. Carien Coetzee Basic Wine 02 December 2019 Typically, the green aromas perceived in Sauvignon Blanc wines come from methoxypyrazines (MPZ) present in the grapes at the time of harvest.

Onderkloof is situated in the historical wine region of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape. The sea and nearest town, Somerset West, are only 6 kilometers away.
The name Onderkloof means “below the valley” and comes from the Pass which leads over the Hottentots Holland Mountains. In earlier years, all goods which have been shipped to and from Cape Town, were transported with ox wagons over these mountains into the countryside. The ruts are still visible today and the pass has become a national monument.
