Our Story

The modern history of Kleine Zalze starts in 1996 when Kobus Basson purchased the property to realise his family’s dream of producing wines of outstanding quality in combination with a lifestyle estate that affords guests and residents an authentic winelands experience.

Kleine Zalze’s philosophy is simple  – success begins in the vineyards. Exceptional wines are made possible by careful management of the farm’s extensive natural assets through innovative canopy management and selecting varieties and clones specifically suited to the various soils and slopes.

The Kleine Zalze Restaurant

The Kleine Zalze Restaurant, under the helm of chef Nic van Wyk, focuses on timeless, honest, generous, and authentic cooking. Our Taste, Explore, Relax offers you not only a selection of new dishes but also the choice of the portion size that you would like to enjoy. Taste – think tapas, Explore – similar to a starter or light lunch, and Relax – a traditional main course.
