VuurbergWhite

Vuurberg White is a complex wine crafted from Chenin Blanc, Viognier and Grenache Blanc with a touch of Semillon, Verdelho and Roussanne. Barrel-fermented with lees ageing giving an amazingly complex white with real depth of white stone fruit, great texture and incredible length.

Vuurberg (pronounced ‘Feer-berg’, translated to ‘Fire Mountain’) is a tiny garage-style winery nestled next door to Zorgvliet on the Helshoogte Pass that winds round the eastern face of the Simonsberg Mountain between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Bought by Dutchman Sebastiaan Klaassen in 2000, the estate produces just two wines, a red and a white.These delightfully delicate wines are made by the very clever and super-talented winemaker Donovan Rall, who worked with Miles Mossop at Tokara and Eben Sadie before striking out on his own. Only very small quantities are produced but already the wines are getting rave reviews across the Cape and sit on the more interesting, less-predictable wine lists of the best contemporary Cape eateries.
