Description

The Khoisan tribe named the river, originating in the Great Karoo and carving its way through the mighty Swartberg range, the Gamka or “lion” – quite possibly due to the fact that when in flood, this usually placid river, literally roars through ravines (klowe in Afrikaans) and savagely bursts its banks sweeping away anything in its path. This vintage continues the course set by the trailblazing maiden vintage of showcasing the very best of the Cape’s rare Portuguese varietals in a wine with class, elegance and longevity.
