Product Notes

Cloof Inkspot is a delicious red wine that captivates wine enthusiasts with its intense aromas and complex flavors. This South African wine is made from a blend of Shiraz, Mourvedre, and Viognier grapes, which are carefully selected and fermented to create a unique flavor profile. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for up to 18 months, which adds a touch of vanilla and oak spice to the wine. Its deep, dark color and rich, full-bodied taste make Cloof Inkspot the perfect accompaniment to hearty meats, stews, and strong cheeses. This distinct wine is an excellent choice for those who appreciate a bold and flavorful red.

Currently, the Cloof Wine Estate is recognised as a WWF Conservation Champion, thanks to its contribution towards environmental conservation and innovation in water & energy efficiency. Established in 1998, this estate is known for its progressive thinking and innovative winemaking practices. The wines produced here are classified into various ranges such as the following:

  • Signature Range – Features a series of wines that give you incredible memories long after you have finished the bottle
  • Duckitt Collection – Range of wines created in memory of William Duckitt who settled in the Darling region during the early 1800s; prepared by his descendant and viticulturist, Peter Duckitt
  • Bush Vines Range – Bold and intense range of wines created from the naturally fertile bush vines of the region
  • Darling Wine in a Can – Range of wines that are known for their innovative packing in cans; cases are recycled again for protecting the environment
  • Awards List – Features a series of wines that won several awards at various local and international platforms
