About this Item
Located on the outskirts of Stellenbosch, combining accommodation, dining, golf and wine, Kleine Zalze Estate offers the complete winelands tourism destination. Due to their extensive commercial success, Kleine Zalze is often overlooked for their ability to compete with the best, especially at the high end of the market.
Family Reserve represents the best of what Kleine Zalze has to offer, produced in limited quantities and only in exceptional vintages.
Notes
Due to time constraints set upon us with the COVID-19 Lockdown no original bottle shots were taken.

‘This wine already has an impressive track record but the 2015 is spectacular. Pear and white peach plus hay, honeysuckle and fynbos on the nose while the palate shows extraordinary fruit purity and driving acidity before a little phenolic grip on the finish thanks to pre-ferment skln contact. Crystalline in structure.’ – Christian Eedes Winemag.co.za 2016, 95 Points
'Barrel fermented / aged flagship 2015 remains variety-true: quince & hay, vibrant freshness, extended finish. No fining, filtration. Great and long life ahead’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2017, 5*
