Waterford Estate
Waterford Estate is situated in the Blaauwklippen Valley on the rolling slopes of the Helderberg Mountain in the well-known Stellenbosch region. Waterford Estate prides themselves in making Fine Wine from carefully selected grapes. Winemaker, Mark Le Roux and viticulturist, David van Schalkwyk both believe a Fine Wine displays the character of its cultivar and a true sense of place. A Fine Wine should reflect the length on the palate, has a complexity of flavours, internal harmony between aromatics and the palate, and balance between its essential components.
Description
The Waterford Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 showcases developed maturity with a complex aromatic profile. The nose reveals a sweeter oak influence characteristic of the American Oak barrels used during Waterford Estate’s younger years. Aromas of leather spice and a pronounced pencil lead dominate, while stewed fruit components of blackcurrants and blackberries add to the wine's interest. On the palate, the wine mirrors its aromatic complexity, with a balanced softened tannin structure creating a luxurious texture. The acidity has matured but remains providing balance and freshness to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, with mineral undertones highlighting the wine’s elegance and aged nature.
Food Pairing
Classical red meat dishes seasoned with cracked sea salt and other savoury dishes.
