The Watershed Pinot Noir is made in the classical cold climate style. The wine is driven by the intense fruit of red berries with perfectly integrated acidity and a good structure. The goal was to create a wine which shows elegance and complexity rather than a heavy, oak-dominated style. The wine should evolve well over time, with ample structure and concentration to age for 8 to 10 years.

From the vineyard
The Watershed takes pride of place as the highest vineyards on Mooiplaas, with a panoramic view of the Cape Peninsula and Table Mountain. At an altitude of 370m above sea level, cool southerly winds from the nearby Atlantic Ocean create ideal ripening conditions for grapes of exceptional quality.
Harvest date: 14 February 2018. Harvested by hand.
Yield: 17 hl- and 2.8 tonnes/ha
In the cellar

Barrel Profile: Specially selected 225L and 300L barrels. Wine was aged for 9 months. French oak barrels, 3rd and 4th fill.
Bottling: 28 January 2019
