Klein Amoskuil sits just outside Malmesbury in the Swartland — a region known for its hard soils, dry summers, and honest yields. Once a tobacco farm, its old drying sheds still stand, sun-bleached and silent.

The farm covers 400 hectares, with around 80 under vine. All of it dry-farmed — no irrigation, just deep roots and resilience. Among them a vineyard identified as the mother block of South African Sauvignon Blanc, planted in 1965. That same old vineyard still thrives in the Swartland sun, producing The Amos Block wines — certified organic and a living thread to our past.

The cellar includes old concrete kuipe and seasoned barrels, and since 2019, twenty hand-crafted Georgian qvevri have been buried beneath the Swartland soil — vessels of clay that connect our work to an 8,000-year-old tradition of natural fermentation. These form the heart of our Obscura range — wines made the ancient way, unhurried and unfiltered.

We bottle two ranges of wines at Klein Amoskuil: the organic range, which includes our heritage vineyard Sauvignon Blanc and a trio of single-varietal reds, and Obscura, our natural qvevri wines.

In every bottle, you’ll find a thread of Klein Amoskuil — its past, its present, and the promise of what’s still to come.
