Vegan Sustainable Minimal Intervention

Waterkloof Boreas

A wine of subtlety and elegance with lifted berry fruit

Title
£31.95

A wine is only bottled under the Waterkloof label when one of the vineyard blocks on the Schapenberg offers up something extraordinary. This fourth such release from a great vintage for reds is a wonderfully complex Bordeaux blend, predominantly Cabernet Franc.

Sublimely complex aromas of redcurrant, plum and red cherry with cedary spice and a hint of pencil shaving. The predominance of Cabernet Franc gives a wine of subtlety and elegance with lifted berry fruit and a supple, finely structured mid palate. Firm yet fine tannins frame the spicy, ethereal finish.

Ratings & Awards,

A selection of grapes from across the estate's best blocks of Bordeaux varieties grown at an altitude of

(other than Cabernet Sauvignon) and naturally fermented in old, open-top, French oak foudres. Gentle
maceration with foot treading and manual punch-downs. Ageing took place in French oak barriques
and 9,000 ltr old oak foudres for 27 months. No fining, minimal filtration, no additions other than
sulphur. 13,390 bottles 2020 produced.
