Living soils and a natural approach to winemaking means that each of the single-varietal wines in the Circumstance range is truly defined by the
circumstances influencing the chosen varietal and vineyard blocks, including: soil, aspect, altitude and vintage. The Mourvedre vines are dry-farmed, windswept and low-yielding. Production is a miniscule (for rosé) 5 tons per hectare. Grapes were hand harvested followed by a gentle whole-bunch pressing in a horizontal basket press, to extract only the finest juice. No further maceration of the juice with the skins
was allowed. The juice was run down via gravity into tank and left to settle naturally for 12 hours. From there the clean juice was racked off to wooden fermenters to start the natural fermentation spontaneously, relying on wild yeasts that occur naturally in the vineyard. Waterkloof ferment in older wooden fermenters to ensure a slow ingress of oxygen throughout the process and therefore a longer fermentation without
picking-up any oak aromas. The wine was then left on fine lees to add further complexity before bottling. No fining, just a light filtration. The only addition was a small amount of sulphur before bottling.
