Fram Wines, situated in the esteemed Piekenierskloof area, was founded as a personal passion project of Thinus Krüger. He wanted to make wines highlighting personality and originality, making wines from a variety of terroirs that showcase the Western Cape.

"After 12 long years of making really good wines, for really nice people, I decided that it is time to make some even better wines for myself. And obviously for you too. And for a whole lot of other deserving people on this planet. So, if you are keen on good wines, wines that oozes personality and want to keep ahead of the Jones's, this is the right place to be." Thinus Krüger.

A combination of two vineyards, the first one just to the east of Malmesbury, the second vineyard is on the eastern part of the Paardeberg. Both are on granite soils. Natural fermentation and 9 months in older oak. No additives other than very low amounts of sulfites.

There is an old sign as you head into Riebeek Kasteel from Hermon that reads "Welcome to Shiraz country". It was true many moons ago and is still just as true today. Thinus' vision is to make a wine that will focus on freshness, and show lively fruit, ranging from red cherry to the black savouriness of liquorice.
