Waterkloof Circumstance Sauvignon Blanc 2024

A serious, coastal Sauvignon Blanc shaped by wind, time, and restraint — this is not your typical quick-ferment white.

Key Features

• Wild Yeast Fermentation → Naturally fermented over seven months for added depth and complexity
• Old Vine Fruit → 20-year-old vines deliver concentration and character
• Barrel-Aged → Extended lees contact in seasoned barrels creates a rich, textured palate
• Biodynamic Farming → Demeter-certified practices enhance purity and site expression
• Coastal Terroir → Schapenberg’s ocean-facing slopes bring freshness and mineral salinity
