De Kleine Wijn Koop Ronkedoor Shiraz

Tasting Note: Round, supple structure with good fruit and spice; smooth tannin with lingering finish. Fun Fact: The word ‘Ronkedoor’ means ‘hermit’ in Afrikaans. The label sketch is based on an old Afrikaans fable about a quiet recluse of a man who rescues a little mouse from the claws of an owl, and raises her as his own.  Varietal: 100% Shiraz ABV: 14.0% About the Winery: De Kleine Wijn Koöp is at the helm of winemaker Wynand Grobler and his wife, Anya. The Groblers regard the 'cooperative' as a two-man family business and run the business from a small cellar and a dedicated team in the heart of Paarl. Wynand does not care much about corporate structures or large cellar teams - his main goal is to be personally involved in the winemaking process. He produces only small quantities of wine with prestigious grapes, from Stellenbosch, Swartland, Walker Bay, Franschhoek, Piekenierskloof and Paarl.
