Vintage Report

The 2022 vintage in South Africa has been rated with an excellent score of 92 points. The wines from this year are characterized as youthful and still rich in tannins, with good potential for slow maturation.

Cabernet Sauvignon is also known as the king of red wine. We often see this red wine recommended to age in the bottle for three years before opening. At Waterkloof, they think differently. They believe this length of time isn't necessary for a high-quality red wine. To achieve this, they sought out vineyards capable of producing wines with remarkable elegance and freshness, as well as a fine texture. And we can safely say that this search was successful. What a magnificent wine this Wild Ferment Cabernet Sauvignon is.

Hand harvest for Peacock Cabernet Sauvignon

The search ended on the cooler slopes of the Helderberg district on the Stellenbosch coast. The soils here provide abundant moisture and nutrients, giving the Cabernet a smooth, dark, berry character. The region is much cooler, allowing the grapes to ripen more slowly and develop balanced flavors and elegant tannins. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and then destemmed. The juice is then fermented naturally with wild yeasts, allowing the flavors of the vineyard to fully express themselves in the bottle. The skins and juice are blended through a combination of two punch-downs or two pump-overs per day. This Wild Ferment Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for nine months in oak barrels.

Enjoy a fresh and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon

And the long wait is rewarded. The Cabernet Sauvignon boasts distinctive character combined with elegance and accessibility. The aroma reveals subtle red berries, a hint of chocolate, and a pleasant spiciness. The palate is fresh with soft, well-integrated tannins. The fruit is also evident in the long, pleasant finish. This red wine is delicious on its own, but also pairs well with many dishes, such as a simple pasta dish or a steak dish.
