Description
In a nutshell:
From the heart of Stellenbosch, here's a Cabernet Franc that's all elegance ' ripe black fruit, a touch of dried herbs, and just the right amount of spice.
The lowdown:
With aromas of graphite, fresh leaves, and ripe red fruits, this wine is unmistakably a classic Cabernet Franc. On the palate, you'll find bright, juicy fruit, a touch of spice, and a clean, mineral finish that keeps it refreshingly crisp. Coming from sustainably managed vineyards, it's a wine that speaks of its roots - the winemaker lets the fruit take centre stage, and it shows. Depth and complexity are the order of the day, showing the true character of Cabernet Franc.
The Producer:
Waterkloof, founded in 2004 by Paul Boutinot, is a haven for thoughtfully produced wines. This family-owned estate embraces organic and biodynamic practices, boasting the prestigious WWF Biodiversity Champion status. High on the Schapenberg hills, vineyards overlook False Bay, where cool breezes and long growing seasons nurture balanced grapes. In the cellar, winemaker Nadia Langenegger takes these gems and lets their natural character shine through minimal intervention. The results of her labours shine through clearly in their authentic, elegant wines.
When to drink:
A perfect match with hearty, slow-cooked dishes - think beef stew with root veg, lamb shank, or a rich mushroom ragout - as its earthy depth and herbal notes match beautifully with those deep, braised flavours.
Suitable for Vegans, Biodynamic
