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. The components are vinified separately, and the blend is assembled after 12 months.

in the cellar : 1st 12 months in older (3rd & 4th fill) French oak and next 12 months in new French oak (50%) and 2 nd fill French oak (50%)
