GABRIELSKLOOF
Tucked away among rolling hills, just an hour from Cape Town along the N2, lies the secret gem of the Bot River wine route, Gabriëlskloof, where the sole focus is to perfect the art of wine making.
The philosophy of quality underpins the daily practices at Gabriëlskloof (starting with the virus free vineyards). The variety of slopes and the diverse soils (Bokkeveld shale and sandstones) provide endless opportunities to express the unique terroir in the wines. After carefully matching cultivars and terroir, the first vines were planted in 2002 and in 2008 winemaker Kobie Viljoen joined the team to make the debut vintage.
The modern cellar with beautifully hewn stone walls and finishes can be seen from the N2, and the restaurant, courtyard and tasting room all offer 360 degree views over the hills towards mountains and
sea. A spectacular place to stop, breathe in the clean, clear air of the countryside and spend a few hours relaxing, wine tasting, olive oil tasting, enjoying a meal at the restaurant or making up a picnic from
the spread offered in the deli. Lush lawns offer plenty of space for children to play while parents indulge in the homely atmosphere.
