About
The small farm of Kleinood was purchased in 2000 by Gerard de Villiers and wife Libby. It started out as a run down and neglected fruit farm but has come a long way since then. The 12-hectare property is planted with 10-hectares of vines, and the remaining 2 hectares with olive trees. The wines produced are called Tamboerskloof, named after the Cape Town suburb where the de Villiers grew up and first dreamt of the farm they would own one day. In addition to wine, Kleinood also produces olive oil, honey and perfume

Yeah... no
We're not sure if you've noticed, but there a great many very different deals on today.
That means each of 'em will need their own witty blurb, and well, that's really way more than we'd like to write.
Not that it matters seeing as not being able to unionise sort-of limits your options.
So, we're doing what any motivated slacker (talk about paradoxes) would've done and figuring out the easiest route to keeping everyone happy (mostly).
No luck yet, but here's hoping.
We're effectively combining the excitement of writing words with just sitting here.
Is it working?
We'll take that as a yes.
