About Kloovenburg Wine & Olive Estate
Kloovenburg Wine & Olive Estate lies at the foot of the Kasteelberg mountain in Riebeek Kasteel, in the heart of the Riebeek Valley within South Africa's Swartland region. The farm dates back to 1704, and since 1956 it has been owned and farmed by the du Toit family, who are also known internationally as the family of Springbok rugby player Pieter-Steph du Toit. Winemaker Pieter du Toit and his wife Annalene run the estate today, producing wines from Mediterranean cultivars such as Shiraz, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Grenache Noir and Blanc, Carignan, Roussanne and Verdelho grown in the region's ancient shale and Malmesbury shale soils. Alongside its wines, Kloovenburg is equally renowned for its award-winning cold-pressed olive oils and olive products, making it one of the Swartland's signature dual wine-and-olive estates.
