Kallista

Hearty meat stews, steak and creamy cheese (brie and camembert).

Vriesenhof has a history dating back to the early eighteen century where its south facing slopes are perfectly positioned to produce wines of a fine character. The estate has plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot Pinotage and small block of Pinot Noir. You’ll find it between the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountains amidst the Paradyskloof Valley. Three ranges of superb wines are produced including the labels of Vriesenhof Talana Hill and Paradyskloof. Jan Boland Coetzee is the wine maker of the estate and he has ensured that the position of each variety is planted in the ideal position.

Situated on the foothills of Stellenbosch Mountain, Vriesenhof is recognized as one of the great terroirs of South Africa. Ancient river terraces and commanding mountain vistas provide the backdrop to our vines and beautiful hillside cellar. The Kallista blend embodies a lifetime of observation and wisdom accumulated amongst the vines and represents the very best expression of each vintage.
