Description
In a nutshell:
Weighty, rich and spot on barrel fermented Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc
The lowdown:
Ripe and textured is the way to describe this Sauvignon Blanc. The distinctive lime and gooseberry notes are all present and correct, but there's a bit more texture and ripeness to this, owing to the deliberately lengthy fermentation in old barrels. It's got a great concentration of citrus and stone fruit balanced with hints of fennel and a taut mineral acidity. Superb Sauvignon Blanc with a bit more weight than usual.
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 to drink with oysters or fresh grilled crayfish.
Suitable for Vegans, Biodynamic
