Waterkloof Wine Estate
Untamed winemaking reigns supreme at Waterkloof Estate, recognised for its cutting-edge sustainable endeavours and environmentally responsible farming in the Helderberg. An officially certified biodynamic bastion, Waterkloof unlocks nature’s true potential in the most natural way with honest wines that speak of elegance, vitality and individuality. Its green brigade includes Percheron horses to plough, compost, spray and harvest; cattle for biodynamic compost; sheep grazing vines, eating weeds and enriching the soil with their manure; and hens eating vine weevils and laying eggs for the estate’s restaurant. Welcome to the virtuous circle!
