Kleine Zalze

Kleine Zalze is located just three kilometers outside of Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Situated on a variety of slopes, soils and aspects, the vineyards that bear the fruit for the Kleine Zalze wine range are exposed to fresh sea breezes from the coast, which is only 15 kilometers away. This cool climate produces delicate flavors while ensuring optimal growing and ripening conditions for our fruit.

From an environmental point of view, the development of Kleine Zalze and the adjacent De Zalze Golf Estate were subject to a clause that environmental conditions and the value of the land should be improved.

This condition became reality through Kleine Zalze 's will to turn previously undeveloped lands into productive farmland. Intensive tillage preceded the planting of new vineyards, which today provide high-quality inputs to the wines of Kleine Zalze .

Also as part of the development, a "green trust" was formed in partnership with De Zalze Golf Estate, which includes environmental programs at the two properties. Kleine Zalze complies with the internationally recognized Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) scheme.

The scheme confirms that our grapes and wine are produced using environmentally sustainable production methods. Compliance with IPW guidelines assures the buyer and consumer that the production process was environmentally sustainable and that minimum food safety requirements were met.

Kleine Zalze also actively supports local charities and organizations involved in community building.
