Tierhoek Wines
South Africa, PIEKENIERSKLOOF, CITRUSDAL
About
Tierhoek's cellar and vineyards are nestled in a mountain bowl amongst the peaks of the Piekenierskloof , 760m . The vines remain domant during the cold Winter, and are cooled by Atlantic Ocean breezes in Summer. Established in 1886 and in 2001 the Sandell family become the new owners. The Sandveld buildings were restored and the neglected Old Vine Chenin Blanc, planted 1976, and Grenache ,predating 1960, were bought to life. This is what put Tierhoek on the map. The philosophy is balance in the vineyards, where no pesticides or herbicides are used , to produce wines that express the terrior.
