Description
Kleinood Farm presents:
Tamboerskloof (pierewaaiers)
pierewaaiers = dandies
This is a collection of rare Tamboerskloof wines inspired by the exceptional grapes that cross our path.
All the dandies are made in the Kleinood winery in the Kleinood way, but only occasionally, when the grapes insist, and in very small quantities.
Before release, each bottle is labelled by hand and each cork sealed with wax. Each bottle is nattily dressed in a recycled paper bag and tied at the top with a thinly cut repurposed tyre tube – pretty dandy.
“The charm of these wines lies in the quality of the grapes,
the soul of the places that they come from,
and the care of the hands that create them.”
Kleinood Tamboerskloof Grenache Blanc
(inkommer)
2026
inkommer = johnny-come-lately / outsider
We stumbled upon a special block of Grenache Blanc in the Piekenierskloof, and couldn’t resist making this wine.
Winemaker’s Comments
The (inkommer) is a light golden-coloured wine with a vibrant nose starting with orange blossom. The intense tangerine and winter melon notes are simply mesmerising. The entry is dry, but a hint of sweetness adds weight to the mid palate and medium acidity which follows through to a well textured and lengthy flinty-melon finish.

WINEMAKING RECORD
The grapes were hand picked into lug boxes weighing roughly 17kg and transported to Kleinood.
The grapes were then hand sorted and gravitated into steel tanks, with skin contact maintained over night, the must was then gently pressed in a basket press to recover only 480 litres per ton.
Fermentation took place in old French oak barrels, 33% new, 2nd and 3rd fill. It was then moved to a concrete egg for 6 months with gross lees.
