Seriously Cool Cinsault

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 old bush vines give rise to a soft balanced tannin line and elevated length. This wine is lively and not overtly fruity. A combination of cassis, dark berries and spices infused with a slight earthy note, can be appreciated on the nose. Soft tannins in the mouth are complemented by elegant fruit flavors.
