The manor is a wide low building of amazing architecture, surrounded by nature and the art of winemaking.
Situated on the banks of the Blaauwklippen river, Klein DasBosch is a small yet tranquil and beautiful estate.
Home to Whitey Basson and his family, the manor sprawls before a placid pond replete with ducks and a central island.
Sumptuous vineyards bursting with delicious rich grapes are begging to be picked and made into the finest Klein DasBosch wines.
Klein DasBosch itself only has five hectares of vineyards. The neighbouring farms are Mont Marie, Talana Hill and Vriesenhof.
Due to the limited quantity of Klein DasBosch wines, they are only available for sale internationally and in selected restaurants and stores.
Mark Norrish's wine club in Cape Town scored the Merlot at 17.5 and Michael Fridjhon describes it as one of the five best Merlots he has tasted over
the last year. Michael described the product as having "concentrated mulberry and plum aromas, opulent textures and ripe tannins, complex, persistent
dry finish. The perfect complement to beef, lamb and cheese."
Produced with lots of patience to give you the best of quality, these wines are a must!
Winemaking is an art form of patience, control and creativity. Given raw grapes, a winemaker must after much effort produce a wine which pleases
the palate and makes the winemaker proud. From the grape picking to the vats to the bottled wines, winemaking is an art form of the highest order.
This art form is appreciated by the senses, taste, colour, feel and fragrance.
Klein DasBosch uses only the finest raw materials, people and processes to bring you wines of unparalleled drinking pleasure.
Klein DasBosch could hardly have a more experienced and impressive person at its helm. Mr Basson, nicknamed "Whitey", is the managing director
of South Africa's largest supermarket chain, Shoprite/Checkers. His leadership skills and demands for excellence drive people around him to
new heights and make Klein DasBosch what it is.
To compliment Whitey's influence, Klein DasBosch has one of South Africa's most revered rugby legends turned winemaker, Jan Boland Coetzee.
All Klein DasBosch's wines are produced by Jan. With this dynamic and committed duo, Klein DasBosch can hardly fail to produce wines of sheer
excellence.
Naturally though, no business – from the smallest cafe to the largest supermarket chain – can survive without dedicated, hard-working
people behind the scenes. To this end, Klein DasBosch supports a team of workers bent on helping Whitey and Jan in creating excellent wines.
All in all, Klein DasBosch is a thriving close-knit group with your wine palate in mind.
Klein DasBosch is always eager to hear from you, whether it be a brief e-mail, an interesting telephone call or even a visit to our beautiful vineyards.
