False Bay Windswept Sauvignon Blanc

The grapes for the False Bay Windswept Sauvignon Blanc grow on wind-swept vines on the rugged coast of South Africa; this results in small grapes and therefore only a low yield. The taste thus becomes more intense and the acidity also benefits from this. Its color is greenish-yellow and the typical aromas of ripe gooseberries and other fruits are noticeable in the air. On the palate, one thinks one can still detect some nettle and bell pepper.

A wine whose maritime origin is noticeable.

The Winery

Waterkloof Wine Estate

Waterkloof – here everything revolves around the vineyards. Organic and biodynamic methods, inspired by sustainable practices of the Old World, keep the vines in balance. Cows, sheep, goats, chickens – they all provide natural fertilizer, help with weed control, and make chemicals superfluous.

The soils are free of chemicals, enriched with plant extracts, fungi, and bacteria from their own compost. The vines root deeper than five meters – real terroir in the glass.

The vineyards are located five kilometers from the sea, at an altitude of 270 to 300 meters. Sandstone soils with medium-sized stones store water and ensure balance. 21-year-old vines that deliver intense character.
