Hofstraat cellar is a garagiste winery owned by Wim Smit, the resident winemaker. He is a well known commercial builder in Malmesbury and the surrounding Swartland. He took his aesthetic perfection of building practices and directly applied it into his hobby, wine making. Officially registered in 2002, Hofstraat cellar, with Renosterbos being its flagship wine, has since won many prestigious awards and accolades, making it a staple in the wine making community and the Swartland wine route.
Renosterbos Nebbiolo from Hofstraat Kelder offers complex notes of red fruit (cherry, raspberry, plum), florals (violet, roses), and earthy/spicy undertones (leather, pepper, cedar, coffee, smoke), with high tannins and acidity characteristic of the Nebbiolo, creating a structured yet inviting wine with potential for aging. Expect a profile balancing bright fruit with savory depth, often featuring unique regional expressions
Food Pairing: Nebbiolo's strong structure, with grippy tannins and high acidity, makes it an excellent food-friendly wine. It pairs well with rich dishes, such as venison, hearty meat dishes, or mature cheeses
