Background
The Pentz family Peter Sr, his son Nick, and grandson Peter Jr are committed to producing exceptional wines that showcase the estate's unique terroir and history, with three generations working together.

Our Philosophy
Our viticulturist and winemaker are passionately involved in maintaining the unique terroir of our vineyards nestled on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain.

Our Farm
Steeped in history and boasting some of the highest planted vineyards in the Cape, Chamonix is set amongst 300 hectares of pristine natural beauty on the Eastern slopes of the Franschhoek mountains.

Wine Industry Ethical Trade Association (WIETA)
WIETA was formally established in November 2002. The association arose out of an Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) pilot project in the wine industry.

Background
Kleine Zalze is an award-winning winery situated in the heart of the Cape Winelands, just two miles from Stellenbosch. Winemaking has taken place on our estate on a small scale since 1695 but it was in 1996, when Kobus Basson and his family purchased the property, that the modern Kleine Zalze was born.

About Us
First of all, wine is made for conversations. For us, wine is an expression of art, designed to be enjoyed and remembered.

Fairtrade
Fairtrade was introduced to ensure a better deal for growers and small-scale producers in developing countries. These people have often found that they are unable to obtain a fair price for their products because of their remoteness or size of operation.

Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI)
The BWI is a pioneering partnership between the South African wine industry and the conservation sector.
