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.
