Waterkloof Circle of Life Red 2022

A lively red blend packed with juicy dark berries, plums, a touch of spice, and a coastal freshness. It's made from Mourvedre, Syrah, and Grenache - each grape adding its own thing, from rich fruit to herbal, earthy notes. Smooth and easy-going, with a savoury finish that lingers moreishly, it's fresh, balanced, and seriously drinkable. A good pick when you want something with flavour but not too heavy.

Great with roast lamb, veggie casseroles, or a herby lentil stew - the juicy fruit and savoury finish work well with rich, wholesome dishes. Also great with everyday comfort foods like pizza or shepherd's pie.

Waterkloof is a certified organic and biodynamic estate on the windswept, coastal slopes of the Schapenberg above False Bay, with thriving soils, low yields and long growing seasons providing wonderfully balanced fruit. Cellarmaster Nadia Barnard and her team take a minimal-intervention approach in the cellar, so that the wines are true to the terroir. Behind it all is founder Paul Boutinot, whose wine-making story is closely entwined with the Southern Rhône, where the company he built has been sourcing and crafting blends for decades, and who saw in this South African terrain the chance to bring those Rhône-honed instincts together with a wine farm run in step with his values.
