Piquepoul Noir has been grown in Southern France for atleast 200 years, but is now rarely seen. Originally from the Languedoc, it is one of the 13 grapes permitted in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Pale pink colour, light bodied and clean with refreshing acidity, bright rose petal aromas and citrus notes on the finish.
A classic Rioja Reserva with beautifully intertwined fruit and oak flavours.
Beautiful blackberry notes with spices, smoky and subtle nuances of vanilla, toffee and tobacco. An excellently balanced wine which offers layers of red berry fruits on the palate, laced with vanilla and hints of mocha.
Superb blend of Chenin , white Grenache and Viognier. All three are fermented separately in old oak, amphora and clay vats. This as well as some skin contact gives lovely texture and body to the wine. Slightly saline finish. A Cellar Door team favourite.
Complex nose with hints of spice, chocolate and mocha. Good structure with plum and mineral complexity and a lingering finish.

The nose shows a mixture of ripe mulberry and white pepper, framed in a touch of toasty, vanilla oak and just the faintest hint of minty caramel chocolate. The palate echoes the blackcurrant, mulberry and dark cherry. The tannins are super smooth, long and persistent.

Parcela 12 is made of 100% Graciano. Graciano, until recently was the colour and alcohol addition to the blend for Rioja. Here, it is very much a stand-alone grape in it’s own right. This single parcel of Graciano is planted on granite soil which adds freshness and minerality to the wine. Matured for 8 months in French oak barrels, gives nuances of cocoa, balsamic and sweet spice. Subtle floral notes and juicy fresh blackberry, plum and red cherry fruits. Powerful and full bodied, yet smooth almost sweet tannins and an intense finish. Complex, elegant and fruit driven. Great wine for the money.

Waterkloof Circumstance Mourvèdre 2020
Regular price

An elegant rendition of this normally unruly varietal. Features raspberry, dark fruit and herbal notes whilst an almost meaty, wild aroma can be detected on the nose. Typical vigour expected from this varietal, with a high concentration of fine tannin and a surprising lightness of touch helped by the lower alcohol.
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 is from a single, windswept, south-facing (less sun exposure) block 250-300m above and a mere 2 miles from The Atlantic. These factors combine to produce low yields, balanced grapes and wines with a true sense of place. Production was a miserly 4 tons per hectare. Mourvedre is one of the few varietals with enough wind-resistance to plant as bush-vine on Waterkloof. Grapes are hand-harvested and brought to the cellar by horses for hand-sorting. Bunches are sorted and whole-bunch fermentation happens spontaneously with wild yeast in large, open-top wooden fermenters. Manual punch-downs or foot-pressing take place 1-2 times per day and the wine is left on skins for 30 days before going through malolactic fermentation in old 600 litre barrels then ageing for 16 months in the same vessels. No fining, just a light filtration. No additons other than sulphur. Vegan friendly, biodynamic wine. 6 barrels made.
