Waterkloof Circumstance Cabernet Franc 2018

R221.00

Region: Helderberg

Tasting note:

‘The best of the current crop of Waterkloof reds, this is a serious, structured, well-judged Cabernet Franc that’s built for the longer haul. Grippy graphite tannins underpin aromas and flavours of capsicum, plum and black cherry with a top note of mocha oak. Drink 2022-27.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 92/100

‘Intriguing Cape fynbos notes can be enjoyed on the nose, with some beautiful spice and notes of plums. I enjoy swirling this wine in my glass to see how it evolves. It has great structure with a fresh acidity. I enjoy pairing it with a marinated rack of lamb in a variety of different herbs (such as parsley and thyme ) and some garlic.’ – Nadia Barnard, Winemaker

Waterkloof custodian, Paul Boutinot got to know the Cape Winelands in the early nineties, sourcing grapes from old vineyards to turn into his False Bay Wines. His philosophy for these wines has always remained the same: Balanced grapes, minimal intervention, natural spontaneous ferments, real wines.

Each of the single varietal wines in Waterkloof Estate’s Circumstance range is defined by a unique symphony of fortuitous circumstances that influence the individual vineyard sites, including soil, aspect and altitude. There are currently nine wines under this acclaimed label.
