"The extended wild yeast fermentation adds complexity and introduces distinctive bready aromas to the wine. The nose is led by dried herbal notes of fennel and aniseed, influenced by the surrounding Fynbos, alongside a creamy lemon character.
The palate reflects the aromatic profile, with impressive textural depth from the long, slow fermentation process and further layers of herbal complexity."
An independent company, owned by Waterkloof founder Paul Boutinot, False Bay Vineyards aims to make 'real' wine affordable. These are sustainable certified wines bottled in South Africa and naturally crafted from mature and often old vineyards that, crucially, are naturally in balance. This means that, unusually at the price, the grapes from these coastal gems can be transformed into wine with wild yeast and an absolute minimum of intervention.
False Bay Vineyards is proud to be a WWF (World Wildlife Fund) Biodiversity Champion and certified by WIETA (Wine and Agricultural Ethical Trade Association). All of their wines are Vegan friendly.
False Bay are also certified as part of South Africa’s sustainability accreditation, the ‘Integrated Production of Wine’ (IPW) system. The IPW scheme, started in 1998, consists of a set of audited guidelines specifying agricultural practices, manufacturing practices and bottling activities. BE26
