Prepare to have your perception of Sauvignon Blanc transformed. The Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc is not your typical zesty, herbaceous white; it is a profound and multi-layered wine that showcases the true potential of the grape. Crafted from a single, high-altitude block on the Waterkloof estate—a parcel that only yields fruit in exceptional vintages—this wine is a testament to the power of a perfect site.
The cool, ferocious winds from False Bay force the vines to struggle, producing intensely flavored, small berries. In the cellar, winemaker Nadia Langenegger uses a hands-off, “less is more” approach, allowing the natural fermentation and aging process to capture the distinct character of the vineyard. The time spent on the lees in neutral barrels gives the wine a luxurious texture and a compelling complexity that is rarely seen in this varietal. This is a wine built for both immediate pleasure and for rewarding cellaring over the next decade
