Kleinood — Chenin blanc (Buurman) 2025
Couldn't load pickup availability
Kleinood is located in the Blaauwklippen Valley near Stellenbosch and stands for an uncompromising approach to quality on a small scale. The name means "something small and precious" — and that precisely describes the philosophy of the Winery.
On roughly ten hectares of vineyard area, work is deliberately carried out in small parcels. Each site is managed individually, harvested separately and vinified to precisely bring out its respective character. In the cellar Kleinood relies on gentle handling and minimal intervention to preserve the grapes' natural balance.
The focus is primarily on Syrah, which is vinified under the Tamboerskloof label. The wines are characterized by elegance, depth and a clear sense of origin.
The Winery is complemented by the in-house "de Boerin" line with products such as olive oil, honey and verjuice, which — like the wines — are produced directly on the estate and reflect the same artisanal standards.
Kleinood is thus an intentionally small-scale operation entirely focused on quality, precision and authenticity.
Tasting notes
On the nose it displays a clear, vibrant aromatics of fresh lemon, white grapefruit and a hint of lime leaf. On the palate the wine is precise and focused, with a fine, salty‑mineral structure that gives it tension and depth. The acidity is lively but well integrated, carrying the citrus fruit elegantly through the wine and leading to a clean, invigorating finish with maritime freshness.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
