Introducing our flagship Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc 2012
Born on the southwest-facing, low-yielding and windswept slopes of the Schapenberg, the Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc epitomises our goal of producing truly “world-class” wines. Made in limited quantities from two single vineyards, only vintages judged as excellent by our team are released. With 2010 being the last year to see a release, the long wait is due to come to a pleasing end in May this year when our 2012 vintage will be launched.
Our time-honoured winemaking tradition of minimum intervention is exemplified with the production of our Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc, from delicate whole bunch pressing and natural fermentation in old barrels, to a coarse filtration with no cold or protein stabilisation. The result is a fine wine of great complexity, character and longevity.
Watch out for the release of our Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc 2012 in May 2013!
