Food Recommendations
 

Lifted, perfumed, red berry nose with peppery, smoky notes. Ripe and fleshy on the palate with fine,
fresh plummy fruit leading to a long, savoury, structured finish.

Founded by Paul Boutinot in 2004, Waterkloof is a family-owned farm using organic practices. The farm is 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 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.

Hand-picked and hand-sorted. Whole bunch wild yeast ferment in an old open-top French oak
fermenter. Foot-treading and manual punch-downs followed by 24 months ageing in old 600l French
oak barrels. No additions other than sulphur.

A top quality wine like this deserves a top quality simply cooked steak.
