The Winelands experience with Waterkloof
WELCOME Reflections in my wine glass
LET'S STAY IN TOUCH! Join us on social media and share in the Waterkloof story: facebook.com/Waterkloof @WaterkloofWines
As I sit back with a glass of Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc, I think about how privileged I am to have been a part of the Waterkloof story so far. I joined the company in January 2008, before the winery was even built! I’ve witnessed many significant moments over the years: Farm Manager Christiaan’s tireless work in eradicating alien vegetation, the hours of study and experiments that turned our conventional vineyards into biodynamic ones, the many years spent on preparing soils for new vineyards, the introduction of natural preparations for spraying vines, making our own compost and crop cover, training seven Percheron horses to work the vineyards... the list goes on. All of this, mind you, whilst still having to deal with winds of up to 120kmph during our flowering period! No matter the challenge, our team always meets it head on. It’s all in the pursuit of quality grapes that make beautifully balanced and naturally expressive wines. I feel proud to be a part of the journey so far, especially with receiving our official organic and biodynamic certification. The hard work won’t ever really be over, but our labour of love is certainly starting to reap rewards.

Read the online edition at www.waterkloofwines.co.za strict approach of minimal additions when producing our Peacock Wild Ferment Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. By relying on naturally occurring native yeasts to begin and complete the fermentation process, we ensure that the true flavours of the vineyard are expressed in the glass.
The Peacock Wild Ferment range is intended to offer accessible wines ready for enjoyment, but that still deliver in elegance and complexity. Naturally versatile, they work beautifully as an aperitif or with food. And the range's name? It comes from the brightly plumed birds that call our vineyards home.

F E AT U R E
A DECADE OF WINE Celebrating 10 years of winemaking at Waterkloof
It took 10 years for Paul Boutinot, Waterkloof’s custodian, to narrow down his global search for what he describes as: “A vineyard site with the potential to produce truly fine wines with a defining sense of origin.” His search led him to South Africa in 2004, to the windswept slopes of the Schapenberg, surrounded by a natural amphitheatre of mountains and with uninterrupted views of False Bay. It was here that Paul would establish Waterkloof. “I chose Waterkloof for site specific reasons," Boutinot begins. “It just happened to be in South Africa, just as Romanée Conti just happens to be in France!”
A BIODYNAMIC TIMELINE Key dates in our decade-long history 04 | WWW.WATERKLOOFWINES.CO.ZA 04 | WWW.WATERKLOOFWINES.CO.ZA
Today, Paul is sitting on the deck at the winery’s ‘Cellar in the Sky’ and sipping on a glass of Circle of Life White. “One of the most important motivators was climatic,” he continues. “There is a sharp drop in afternoon temperatures, with strong winds coming in off the Atlantic that are funnelled up the ravine and spread over the whole amphitheatre. In addition, there are two different primary soil structures present, enabling the planting of a range of grape varieties. There was also significant potential for naturally low yields.” There are 56 hectares of vines covering the slopes of Waterkloof today, compared to just 20 in 2005. The vines, which have been farmed biodynamically, are much healthier and substantially more diseaseresistant than 10 years ago.
2004 • Paul Boutinot buys Waterkloof • Clearing of alien vegetation begins
Paul explains that these factors – climate, soil structure, low yields and healthy vines – have resulted in an enormous increase in grape quality. “We’ve taken the site from its raw potential to a position where we’re experiencing this quality in the bottle,” he says. “The building blocks are all in place,” Paul says. “The wines will increase in depth as the vines grow older, but the essential style will remain. Undoubtedly, there will be small refinements. We hope that our wines will be enjoyed by an ever- increasing number of wine lovers.”

A DECADE OF WINE
WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
BACK TO THE FUTURE WITH BIODYNAMICS
“Waterkloof has a philosophy of preserving natural balance in the vineyard and it shows in the wines’ vitality. In an age dominated by hyperbole and marketing ‘fluff’, these guys are the real deal - toiling in a truly noble effort to produce ‘vin de terroir’. I commend their philanthropic work that is so seamlessly incorporated into running the estate. These are truly wines you can feel good about.”
Farm Manager Christiaan Loots recalls how we went back to using age-old farming approaches, in order to move forward to achieve the healthy, sustainable farm we have today:
Ryan Woodhouse – K&L Wine Merchants, International www.klwines.com
“The Waterkloof wines have been on our lists at Hakkasans worldwide ever since we first tasted them, and they never fail to work with our Cantonese cuisine. The wines all have tons of character, but are elegant too.”
Christine Parkinson – Hakkasan Restaurants, Hakkasan Group
DESCRIBE THE LANDSCAPE IN 2005? The farm was covered in alien tree species and the existing vines were infested with pests and viruses. There was almost no infrastructure, with the exception of a few badly eroded roads.
“My team has endured countless explanations over the years, which they have learnt, believed in and applied. They’ve put their heart and soul into making it work.”
WHY WAS A BIODYNAMIC APPROACH CHOSEN – AND WHEN? Conventional methods to control the pests and viruses in the vines were repeatedly unsuccessful, so we were forced to think outside the box. We began farming organically in 2007 and introduced biodynamic methods as of 2008. By definition, a biodynamic farm is one where the soil is without conventional problems. Most importantly, the soil needs carbon – something that conventionally farmed vineyards rarely have. We began to notice real benefits by 2011.
HOW MUCH DID YOU KNOW ABOUT BIODYNAMICS BACK THEN? Absolutely zero! Luckily, biodynamic farmers believe in sharing their knowledge and I was fortunate enough to have plenty of support and advice. To this day, I regard the late Jean Malherbe, a lady who lived and farmed in the mountains of Wellington, as my biodynamic guru.
WHAT WERE SOME OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES?
“Our restaurant has been selling Waterkloof wines for the past eight years. My personal favourite is the Circle of Life Red. I've seen the wines improve year on year, and I always get positive feedback from all my customers. The Circumstance Cape Coral Rosé is especially popular, because it pairs so well with our exceptional sushi dishes.”
Building the soil structure was by far the biggest. Conventional farming essentially treats the soil as something to hold up the vines and nothing more. We had to turn acidic, compacted soil into soil with high organic matter, a diverse microbial and fungal count, and the ability to nourish the vines.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? My team. They have endured countless explanations and talks over the years,
Jens Tibshraeny – Willoughby & Co, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
which they have learnt, believed in and applied. They’ve put their heart and soul into making it work.
HOW ARE THE VINES LOOKING FOR THE 2015 VINTAGE? No rot, sunburn, mealybug or mildew or weevil damage. Small berries with concentrated juice, elegant acidity and lots of flavour. We’re looking at yields of around four tons per hectare.
HOW WOULD YOU SUM UP THE PAST 10 YEARS? The first day when our horses ploughed the soil, the first time we sprayed the vines using our horse carts and the first time we brought 960kg of grapes per horse into the cellar will always be stand-out memories for me. My very best moment, though, is this tenth harvest. The 2015 vintage is our very first biodynamically certified harvest, with the finest quality grapes in our winemaking history.

CELL AR MASTERY Cellar Master Nadia Barnard takes a break from harvesting to share her insights
WATERKLOOF SAUVIGNON BLANC 2014 In celebrating our history of winemaking, there is no wine better suited to impart a sense of place than the flagship Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc
Nadia has been at Waterkloof through seven harvest seasons and knows every square inch of every vineyard like the back of her hand. Our tenth harvest is her third in charge of our cellar, so it's fitting that she shares her insights for this next chapter in the Waterkloof story.
Born on the southwest-facing, lowyielding and windswept slopes of the Schapenberg, the Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc epitomises our decade-long goal to produce truly world-class wines. Made in limited quantities from two single blocks from our vineyards, each being over 18 years of age, only vintages judged as excellent are released.
WHY IS A DECADE OF WINEMAKING SIGNIFICANT FOR YOU? The vineyards have truly come into their own, producing well-balanced fruit just as nature intended. In addition to being our tenth harvest, this is my third as Cellar Master, which is also very exciting!
Our time-honoured winemaking tradition of minimum intervention is exemplified with the production of our Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc, from delicate whole bunch pressing and
WHICH VINTAGES HAVE STOOD OUT OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS? In 2009, an even ripening period and long growing season produced grapes of exceptional quality. In 2013, we enjoyed lower yields and the very cool ripening period led to fresh acidity in the grapes.
The wines should show beautiful aromatics, with lots of structure and elegance on the palate.
WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE WATERKLOOF MEMORIES TO DATE? Harvesting in a brand new cellar with new equipment in 2009 was definitely a highlight. I’ve also really loved meeting and working with winemakers who have come to share the harvest with me from all over the world. So far, we’ve had interns joining us from France, Chile, Australia, Canada, Germany and Austria!

Nature cannot be rushed and the Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc 2014 took just over seven months to ferment in old 600-litre, French oak barrels. This resulted in a complex and wellintegrated wine. Aromas of gooseberry, citrus and a hint of fynbos greet the nose. The palate is layered with lots of texture and balanced acidity, ending with a lingering minerality.
