Schalkenbosch Vines
The Schalkenbosch label is reserved for classic wines of exceptional quality. These wines, taken from specially selected blocks are investment wines and should be stored under controlled conditions. The first two wines of this range will be released in 2009 – one, a Bordeaux style wine and the other in the style of the southern Rhone.

Schalkenbosch wines are crafted from carefully selected, hand picked and sorted grapes which are vinified in the cellar behind the main house.

About the Author

The vineyards are situated high up on the slopes of the Witzenberg mountain range overlooking the picturesque Tulbagh valley. The soils are similar to those found in the Rhone Valley in France and the vineyards enjoy a unique micro-climate. A late sunrise is due to the shadow of the mountain. Cool mists occur most nights, which when coupled with warm day time temperatures, create ideal conditions for the production of premium quality wines.
