The predominance of Cabernet Franc gives a wine of subtlety and elegance with lifted berry fruit and a supple, finely structured mid palate. Firm yet fine tannins frame the spicy, ethereal finish.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;A wine is only bottled under the Waterkloof label when one of the vineyard blocks on the Schapenberg offers up something extraordinary. This fourth such release from a great vintage for reds is a wonderfully complex Bordeaux blend, predominantly Cabernet Franc.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;A selection of grapes from across the estate’s best blocks of Bordeaux varieties grown at an altitude of 240-250m. Average yield 17 hl\/ha. Hand-picked and hand-sorted grapes were whole bunch pressed (other than Cabernet Sauvignon) and naturally fermented in old, open-top, French oak foudres. Gentle maceration with foot treading and manual punch-downs. Ageing took place in French oak barriques and 9,000 ltr old oak foudres for 27 months. No fining, minimal filtration, no additions other than sulphur. 13,390 bottles 2020 produced.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Decant 2 hours before serving with rib of beef or similar.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45130057023670,"sku":"12361","price":9.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/waterkloofboreas_12361_01_40b9fb91_73423d9d-45fb-40d9-bfe7-f4d76c8d6965.jpg?v=1779030865","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/waterkloofboreas-12361","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
