Waterkloof
The Winery Waterkloof is just 4.5 kilometers from the Atlantic, on the cool, coastal edge of the wine region Stellenbosch. Founded in 2005 by Paul Boutinot, who spent more than ten years searching for the ideal location for wines with natural balance. The vineyards cover nearly 100 hectares and are surrounded by another 100 hectares of biodiversity certified as a WWF Conservation Champion. The modern cellar sits enthroned on the Schapenberg and offers wide views over False Bay.
The philosophy of Winery Waterkloof is based on minimally invasive winemaking and regenerative agriculture. Since 2005, the grapes have been harvested with low yields of 1 to 4 tons per hectare, enabling high concentration and natural balance. In the cellar, additives are largely avoided, while wild yeasts initiate fermentation. Wines such as the Circle of Life, but also varietal classics like the outstanding Chenin Blanc from South Africa or a fine-mineral Sauvignon Blanc from South Africa, often mature for years in old French oak barrels.
The terroir is shaped by its proximity to the sea and cool sea breezes, creating a unique microclimate. Regenerative agriculture actively restores ecosystems, improves soil health, and promotes biodiversity. Half of the estate is a WWF Conservation Champion nature reserve that protects the biological diversity of the Cape Floristic Region .

Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
