The farm is perched high up on the windswept Schapenberg, overlooking False Bay and The Atlantic Ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiving 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. These factors combine to produce low yields, balanced grapes and wines with a true sense of place. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines are 20 years old and production was a miserly 4 tons per hectare. Waterkloof follow a traditional, minimalistic approach in their gravitational cellar which means interfering as little as possible with the winemaking process. This allows the flavours prevalent in that specific vineyard to ultimately express themselves in the wine. To achieve this goal, all grapes are whole-bunch pressed, which ensures that juice is extracted in the gentlest way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe juice is then settled naturally for 24 hours. Naturally present wild yeast is employed to ferment the juice, mainly in old 600litre barrels (90%). This leads to a longer fermentation process with a slow release of aromas and a more structured palate. The natural fermentation process took 5 months to complete, after which the wine was left on the gross less for another 2 months. There are no added acid or enzymes during the winemaking process, with only a light filtration and a small addition of sulphur added as a preservative prior to bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is suitable for consumption by Vegetarians and Vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterkloof","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39331658891377,"sku":"1960_H1","price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5962\/products\/Waterkloof_Circumstance_Chenin_Blanc.png?v=1777023975"},{"product_id":"easter-weekend-mixed-case","title":"Spring Favourites Mixed Wine Case","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGet to know: Spring Favourites - Mixed Wine Case\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Tasting Notes Card with Food Pairing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelebrate the season with our \u003cstrong\u003eSpring Favourites case\u003c\/strong\u003e - six handpicked wines selected to enhance every spring moment.
