About the wine

The Palomino grape is mostly grown in Spain, where it’s used to make sherry. We’re not sure how a plot of it wound up in South Africa nearly a century ago, but by a happy twist of fate, Francois Haasbroek stumbled across a forgotten field of 90-year-old vines and did what he does best: turning humble ingredients (palomino used to have a rep for being bland) into something magical. This is layered, fresh, and startling.

Tasting Notes

Francois “Midas” Haasbroek does it again: grapes to gold. Lemongrass, gooseberry, chalk, gentle honeysuckle, tarragon, green pepper, creamy lemon, slate, green apple and sherbet. Wow.

About the winemaker

Francois Haasbroek is, in our opinion, the man who put Waterford Estate on the map and made it the Stellenbosch legend it is today. But he always had a dream of going it alone. So, after clocking out for the day, he’d set off in search of overlooked vineyards—the kind whose grapes would quietly vanish into big blends. Then, while the rest of the world slept, he’d stay up until 3 a.m., coaxing them into something special. A few hours later, he’d be back at Waterford, ready to do it all over again.
