Fraai Uitzicht 1798

Klaas Voogds wine of origin, a ward within Robertson district, within the Breede River Valley region, all vineyards are south facing, beneficial in an area, considered as hot climate viticulture, the location benefits from the daily afternoon wind blowing directly into the vineyards until sunset, direct from the ocean, hence further regulating the temperature.

One key feature of all the wines are their brightness and freshness across the range, there is clarity and extraction is near perfect, resulting in a succulent profile, lending a natural affinity with food pairings.

There are 15 ha under vines, majority still young.
