Blackwater Wine
GET TO KNOW FRANCOIS HAASBROEK
Blackwater Wine, producing wine from single vineyards dotted across the Western Cape. Small in production, massive in passion.
Francois Haasbroek is, in our opinion, the man who made Waterford Estate the Stellenbosch legend that it is. But he always had a dream of going it alone. So when he’d finished his shift he’d go searching for under appreciated vineyards, ones whose grapes would disappear into blends, and then he’d stay up until 3am vinifying them. Then he'd head back to work at Waterford the next day.
