Back in 1994, long before founding Waterkloof – his biodynamic vineyard overlooking False Bay- Paul Boutinot came to the Western Cape to seek out and rescue grapes from old, balanced and under-appreciated vineyards. These treasures were otherwise destined to be lost in the large co-operative blends that were dominating South Africa’s wine industry back then. Unusually for that time, Paul transformed those Cape gems into wines with a minimum of intervention: Wild yeast ferments, no acid additions…you know the drill. A familiar story to many ‘real wine’ lovers now, but back then he was swimming against the tide. Even today, making wine this way at the price-level is almost unheard of. Today the ingredients remain the same for Waterkloof’s Cellar Master Nadia Barnard: Fantastic coastal fruit, old vines and wild yeast abound, with additions avoided. Sauvignon Blanc is not concocted from over-cropped grapes, nor pumped up on clever winemaking additives. This authentic winecomes from cool, windswept, coastal vineyards. These gems give up meagre yields of small berries, imbued with their own natural acidity andintensity.– Coastal Vineyards– Sustainably Farmed– Hand Picked– Naturally Crafted– Slowly Matured To see our full range of South African Sauvignon Blanc, please click here To find out more about the winery go to https://boutinot.com To find out more about the vineyard you can go directly to the winery in South Africa – click here False Bay Sauvignon Blanc
