Wouldn’t you like to bring out a bottle of your own wine made in exotic climes? La Petite Provence’s wines are made for the residents of this exclusive Franschhoek estate, most of whom are 'swallows'. When they fly north for the Europen summer, they take their wines with them, to share with their Continental friends. However, small quantities have now come availible commercially.

OLIFANTSHOEK |
|
| Mélange translates from French into English as mix or blend and how appropriately this reflects our distinctly French Huguenot, Franschhoek heritage. La Petite Provence Mélange is a characterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This classic New World style wine creation has intensely ripe berry flavours, balanced with succulent spicy undertones and soft tannins. | Prior to becoming a settlement for exiled French Huguenots in the 17th century, the fertile Franschhoek Valley was frequented by huge herds of elephant and used as a "safe haven" for elephant cows to calve. This wine is produced in celebration of our affection and respect for the African Elephant and its historic affinity with the beautiful Franschhoek Valley. Oliphantshoek Sauvignon Blanc has a gooseberry, green grass, racy freshness, enhanced by tropical fruit aromas and flavours for mouth watering easy drinking. |
