Product information "Waterkloof Circle of Life White 2020"
The Waterkloof Circle of Life White ensnares the nose with fresh Sauvignon Blanc - aromas of tangy lime and fragrant gooseberries. Generous and incredibly intense taste nuances with a fine mineral core, excellent texture and remarkable complexity and creaminess on the middle palate. The fresh acidity obtained from Sauvignon Blanc rounds off this lush drop fermented in the barrel perfectly!
But not only the content is exquisite, because for all fans of beautiful labels the equipment is also of exquisite quality. The name Circle of Life, life cycle, reflects the ever-recurring renewal of nature and life. A metaphor for birth, life, death and rebirth in a new season. This Waterkloof wine is also made with care and passion, and in an absolutely natural way.

In order to extract the juice from the grapes as gently as possible, all the grape material was pressed all over the bunch. After a 24-hour resting period, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc fermented in 600-litre oak barrels as an already blended cuvée. After a long fermentation phase of 6 months and an extended period of maturation on the yeast, the cuvée was filled into stainless steel tanks and then onto the bottle, followed by a further period of maturation in the bottle before the wine was released for consumption. The main focus of the production process was to keep it as natural as possible and to completely avoid the addition of acids and enzymes.
