Langkloof wine region
North of the Outeniqua mountains on the Garden Route you can find the Langkloof wine region where succulent grapes are grown and wine is made. Not on the same scale as in the the Cape winelands. But this is what makes the Langkloof wine all the more unique
Schoonberg, one of Morné Jonker’s family farms in the Klein Karoo can be found in the Langkloof valley near Uniondale. Four hundred and sixty hectares with a north-facing slope at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains and the Duiwelskop peak which is commonly covered by cloud on the balmy summer days. Water vapour is carried is carried up into the atmosphere from the sea forming the clouds which suddenly appear as if from nowhere. They then spill over and into the valleys on the inland side of the mountain bringing the cool moisture needed to complement the soils and completing the setting for the vineyards at Schoonberg
