Blackwater

Stellenbosch reds and whites rated by Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate.

Blackwater produces wines from Stellenbosch, in the Coastal Region of South Africa's Western Cape. The winery focuses on distinctive varietals that express the character of their terroir. Zeitgeist Cinsaut and Daniel Grenache represent the winery's work with red grapes, both rated 94.0 by prestige critics including Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate. Piquet Chenin Blanc, rated 90.0 by the same panel, showcases the winery's engagement with white varieties. Cinsaut and Grenache thrive in Stellenbosch's warm, well-drained soils, where they develop ripe fruit and structure. Chenin Blanc, a South African staple, brings acidity and mineral tension to the portfolio. These wines reflect the region's capacity for both bold reds and textured whites, anchored in the maritime influence of the Coastal Region.
