Belfield Wine Estate
Belfield is a tiny, family run wine estate situated on a hill in the Elgin valley. Mike and Mel Kreft took the plunge in 2000 and purchased the 5.5 hectare property and have converted it from fruit to the vine.
Assisted by their three dogs-"Summer-Baxter and Pumba" they are just completing their new cellar just in time for the 2011 harvest- The soil is beautifully suited to red wines, well drained and rich in iron, and faces north, creating a pocket of land that produces elegant cooler climate red wines
The Elgin valley has become an exciting destination for wine enthusiasts and many winemakers have also planted their flag in this up and coming region. Each wine produced from Belfield is from one vineyard, beautifully showing the influence of terroir on different varietals. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Shiraz are all planted in single blocks.
We look forward to seeing and tasting Mike's latest release that has just been launched in 2011 in South Africa-to much acclaim-it is called Aristata and is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon-43% and Merlot-57%.
