The cellar might look like a war zone, but we are revamping the floors. These are the “before” photos - in a few weeks we’ll post the “after” photos. In the meanwhile, the tasting room is still open every Saturday from 11am to 4pm. #growingpains #beforeandafter
Nervous about the clash between the #Springboks and the #Wallabies this afternoon? Don’t be - simply take a look at this photo of some folks chilling in the winter sun on the stairs at Onderkloof. Better yet, come and grab a bottle of wine from our tasting room! We’re open from 11am to 4pm. #winter #wintersun #takeiteasy Springboks #calmthenerves #winetasting
Truly a face that says, "Winter is not coming, it is here!" Yes, it is getting really cold, but you know where to come and get some awesome Cabernet Franc - just the thing to warm you up in front of your cozy fireplace. And by the way, if you were wondering, the dog in die photo is our resident ridgeback, Alex (aka Sir Gallahad, Caramello and Snolliebum).

It is once said that Cabernet Franc is Cabernet Sauvignon’s more elegant and refined cousin, which is why Cabernet Franc deserves a celebration in its own right!
Cabernet Franc delivers a rare combination of fruit, spice and herbaceousness on the nose while the palate can accommodate a wide range of flavours, thanks to the structured tannins.
Participating wineries are:
Avontuur Wine Estate, Bushmanspad Estate, Delaire Graff Estate, Druk-My-Niet Wine Estate, Hillcrest Estate, Holden Manz Wine Estate, Landskroon Wines, Morgenster Wine & Olive Estate, Mulderbosch Vineyards, #MyWyn, Nelsons Creek, Onderkloof Wine Estate, Ormonde Wines, Raats Family Wines, Rainbow's End Wine Estate, Spookfontein Wines, The Garajeest, Vrede en Lust Estate and Whalehaven Winery.

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.
