Description
In a nutshell:
Friendly, vibrantly fresh and mouthwateringly fruity, what's not to like in this cracking South African red.
The lowdown:
Fresh and crunchy blackcurrant and raspberry flavours and peppery spices mix with mildly earthy notes and soft tannins. From old bush vines grown in the cool Helderberg region, not that far from the ocean, and made with minimal human intervention. Cinsault is an often under-rated variety, but here it really thrives in Waterkloof's expert hands and this is certainly one deseriving more attention.
The Producer:
Founded by Paul Boutinot in 2004, Waterkloof is a family-owned, organic, biodynamic and WWF Biodiversity Champion farm perched high up on the windswept Schapenberg, overlooking False Bay and The Atlantic Ocean. Living soils, naturally low yields and a long growing season help provide talented young Cellarmaster Nadia Barnard with naturally balanced grapes that are imbued with a truly defining sense of origin. Those grapes are then transformed into wine with a minimum of intervention. The resulting wines are fine, inimitable and made to be enjoyed with good food.
When to drink:
One best slight chilled so put in in the fridge half an hour before drinking and serve with game, or rack of lamb.
Suitable for Vegans
