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
A bright ruby hue hints at the vibrant fruit within. The nose is more restrained than the previous vintage, offering a savoury, meaty richness layered with candied red fruit and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, juicy raspberries and concentrated red fruit take centre stage, supported by textured, earthy tannins. Whole-bunch pressing adds tension and structure, while lifting the body and providing freshness through balanced acidity. A poised and complex wine, with intensity and elegance in equal measure.
Food Pairing
Grenache’s versatility is a key factor in its popularity, appeasing all palates no matter the season. This wine excels in its ability to pair well with a wide variety of dishes, including roasted meats, fragrant stews, and Asian flavours, showcasing its exceptional complexity and impressive capacity to harmonise with these intricate and rich tastes.
