Paul Boutinot Winery

 

Paul Boutinot

Unhappy with the homogenisation of wine styles and poor quality winemaking, Boutinot established production facilities in France in 1989 to provide total control over the winemaking process. This gave us the chance to make wines the way we think they should be made. A production base and recent investment land in South Africa has enabled greater control from vineyard to winery. The development of a state of the art winery at the ‘Waterkloof' estate, built to our specifications will see our vision fulfilled. In addition we work on own production projects in conjunction with like-minded producers around the world, who share our same passion for wine. Wines are vinified and blended by our team of winemakers and advisors to achieve our stylistic ideals. Our strong winemaking philosophy developed to achieve our aim of making quality wines, which are representative of the region and variety at every price point. Minimal intervention in the winery, use of indigenous yeasts where possible, maximum aeration of the reds and judicious use of oak to enhance the wines where necessary are key to our success in making very drinkable and food friendly wines.
