More about this product
Doolhof
Nestled in the Cape mountains where night stars replace the city’s bright lights, Doolhof is an award-winning wine estate set at the foot of the Limietberg mountain range. Due to its magical location, the micro-climate offers some of the most exceptional growing areas, which is expressed in the wines. Doolhof (‘Labyrinth’) was so named as a reference to the beautiful convoluted hills and valleys that surround it. Its proud history dates back to the early 18th Century when grapes suitable for the production of wine were introduced by Huguenot settlers from 1712. The varying microclimates, growing conditions, and soil types make it ideal for growing wine grapes. With a focus largely on Malbec and Pinotage, their winemaking philosophy is sustainably orientated with varietal expressiveness at its core.

Malbec
A lesser known fact of Malbec is that it is a native to southwestern France, but now better known as the iconic wine grape of Argentina, its second homeland. Broadly speaking, French Malbec tends to be more meaty, rustic and tannic, while examples from Argentina seem to be uniformly rich, ripe, jammy and juicy. On both sides of the Atlantic, Malbec wines are generally aged in oak to enhance the wine's structure and aging potential.
