Discover the Circumstance Cabernet Franc from Waterkloof, Stellenbosch. This red wine comes in a 75cl bottle and hails from a family-owned, organic, biodynamic, and WWF Biodiversity Champion farm. Founded by Paul Boutinot in 2004, Waterkloof is situated high up on the windswept Schapenberg, overlooking False Bay and The Atlantic Ocean. The winemaking process involves leaving the wine on the skins for 35 days before malolactic fermentation in mainly old barriques and aging for 23 months in the same vessels. No fining, just a light filtration. This vegan-friendly, biodynamic wine is produced in limited quantities, with only 65 barrels made. The unique terroir of the vineyard, including soil, aspect, altitude, and vintage, contributes to the wine's distinct character. Paul Boutinot's team planted an abundance of Cabernet Franc upon taking over the property, and the early results suggest a promising future for this varietal on Waterkloof.
