We only use French Oak for ageing our red wines. However, we use barrels from a number of different coopers, because each cooper’s barrels has a different influence on a wine. Occasionally one can even get disharmony (for example, the wood tannins in Taransaud barrels react very badly with the fruit tannins in pinotage).

The Cloof tasting room is open between 10.00am and 4.00pm during the week, and between 10.00am and 4.00pm on Saturdays
