Winery
Named after South Africa’s most iconic bay, which frames much of the country’s premium winelands, False Bay Vineyards was borne out of a desire to make ‘real’ wine affordable.
Back in 1994, long before founding Waterkloof – his biodynamic vineyard overlooking False Bay- Paul Boutinot came to the Western Cape to seek out and rescue grapes from old, balanced and under-appreciated vineyards. These treasures were otherwise destined to be lost in the large co-operative blends that were dominating South Africa’s wine industry back then.
Unusually for that time, Paul transformed those Cape gems into wines with a minimum of intervention: Wild yeast ferments, no acid additions…you know the drill. A familiar story to many ‘real wine’ lovers now, but back then he was swimming against the tide. Even today, making wine this way at the price-level is almost unheard of.
Today the ingredients remain the same for Waterkloof’s Cellar Master Nadia Barnard: Fantastic coastal fruit, old vines and wild yeast abound, with additions avoided.
This Sauvignon Blanc expresses the great complexity of the varietal and cool flavors such as lime, gooseberries, and mineral flavors on the nose. It has a lovely texture and persistence. The wines have a vibrant but balanced acidity and provide a long length on the palate. Enjoy Peacock Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc from False Bay Vineyards on its own or with a variety of fresh seafood or a green salad! Available for deliveries within Metro Manila.
