LETHA MALAN OELZ IS AVAILABLE TO HOST KAAPSE LIQUEURS AND TIERHOEK WINE TASTINGS AND EVENTS
Letha hosts both the signature lines of Kaapse Liqueurs and Tierhoek Wines.
Kaapse Liqueurs is a proudly South African company distributing liqueurs manufactured from locally sourced produce. All the ingredients are 100% South African, natural and indigenous to the area.
Tierhoek flagship is the Chenin Blanc made from low yielding 30 year old trellised vines, which are barrel fermented in French Oak to express the full flavors of this variety, while maintaining complexity and elegance.
Tierhoek Wines
Tierhoek was established as a farm in 1886 and is one of the oldest surviving, original Sandveld farms on the West Coast of Africa. This 715ha farm was owned by the Marais family from 1886 to 2001, and is presently owned by Tony and Shelly Sandell.
The Sandells have restored the derelict buildings back into their original Sandveld style, including an old horse mill and horse cart saddlery. A cellar is also being built to accommodate for the 20ha of newly planted vines.
Wine
Tierhoek is ideally suited for vineyards. The unique climate, soils and aspect all allow for premium wines that are characterized by intense fruit flavors, backed by subtle mineralogy and fresh acidity.
The flagship is the Chenin Blanc made from low yielding 30 year old trellised vines, which are barrel fermented in French Oak to express the full flavors of this variety, while maintaining complexity and elegance.
Some of these Chenin Blanc grapes are naturally dried off the vine for several weeks then barrel fermented in French Oak to produce Tierhoek straw wine.
Not to be outdone, the Sauvignon Blanc (unwooded) and Grenache Noir are some of the finest examples of their kind in South Africa. All the Tierhoek wines benefit from ageing in the bottle.
Kaapse Liqueurs
Artisan, Local and Natural
The driving force behind the company is the passion, hard work and expertise of Cape Town born and bred Carol Mills. It is through her efforts that the liqueurs have remained artisan, local and natural.
Based in the Western Cape, the business has been built on the very popular “market industry” which has taken off in the area. The casual nature of this phenomenon has allowed for extensive interaction with customers and generated very positive reaction and feedback.
Traditional liqueurs like Kaapse Liqueurs can enhance lifestyles, forming part of the celebration of relationships, get-togethers and festive community eating. Food pairings are a passion of the brands and the sensory experiences which can be created with the liqueurs are endless.
Have a fantastic year.
