About this wine

Wine Style:

  • 2022:
  • Dry White Blend | Fresh | Mineral | Elegant

  • 2025:
  • Dry White Blend | Fresh | Refined | Coastal Influenced

    Tasting Notes:

  • 2022: Lime, prickly pear, mineral notes and a creamy texture with a long elegant finish.

  • 2025: Fresh citrus and white fruit aromas with mineral freshness, layered texture and a long clean finish.

    Sommelier's advice:

  • 2022: Pairs well with fresh seafood, sashimi, grilled fish and light Mediterranean-style dishes.
  • 2025: An excellent match for seafood, sashimi, shellfish and lightly seasoned poultry dishes.

    Vineyards:

  • 2022: Sourced from Waterkloof's biodynamic vineyards in Stellenbosch. South-facing vineyard blocks located 200–350 metres above sea level benefit from cooling Atlantic Ocean influences.
  • 2025: Sourced from Waterkloof Estate in Stellenbosch. South-facing vineyards on the Schapenberg slopes benefit from strong Atlantic maritime influence and are farmed using sustainable, biodiversity-focused practices.
  • Maturation:

    Fermented in old 600L oak barrels and aged on fine lees prior to bottling, enhancing texture, complexity and palate weight.

    Winemaking process:

    Both vintages are produced using the same minimalist winemaking philosophy. Grapes are hand-harvested in the cool morning hours, whole-bunch pressed, and the juice is naturally settled for 24 hours before undergoing spontaneous fermentation in old 600L oak barrels. The final blend is completed prior to bottling, with no addition of acids or enzymes.

    Blend Composition

    2022: 72% Sauvignon Blanc, 28% Chenin Blanc.

    2025: 75% Sauvignon Blanc, 22% Chenin Blanc, 3% Semillon.

    Interesting notes:

    The vineyards are located just a few kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean, where cool maritime winds help preserve the grapes' natural freshness and acidity.

    Vinoteka

    Vinoteka's note

    Sauvignon Blanc with Chenin Blanc and a little Semillon, co-fermented spontaneously in old 600-litre barrels on a biodynamic estate where Percheron horses replace tractors. Lime and prickly pear on the nose; bright citrus and stone fruit with subtle herbs, a tight mineral core and a creamy mid-palate from the Chenin; long, clean finish. Pour it with tuna sashimi or red snapper.

    Written by the Vinoteka team from the producer's technical sheet.
