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 best enjoyed with food.

Werner has a hands “nearly off’ mantra, the grapes were whole-bunch pressed in Waterkloof’s new gravitational cellar and fermentation was allowed to occur naturally relying solely on wild yeasts. The wines making up the blend were vinified separately and aged on their primary lees for ten months prior to blending. Some of the components were aged in oak, adding luscious richness and finesse to the wine.
