Tierhoek is ideally suited for vineyards. The unique climate, soils and aspect all allow for premium wines that are characterised by intense fruit flavours, backed by subtle minerality and fresh acidity.
The flagship is the Chenin Blanc made from low yielding 30 year old trellised vines. Some of these Chenin Blanc grapes are naturally dried off the vine for several weeks then barrel fermented in French Oak to produce Tierhoek’s straw wine.
All the Tierhoek wines benefit from ageing in the bottle.
The Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI) is a pioneering partnership between the South African wine industry and the conservation sector. The goals are to minimise the further loss of threatened natural habitat, and to contribute to sustainable wine production, through the adoption of biodiversity guidelines by the South African wine industry.
Tierhoek has been a member since 2007.
