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 wine’s aromatics reflect the terroir in which it is grown, displaying layered notes of leather, spice, smoked savoury meatiness, and aromatic fynbos. The palate exhibits vibrant acidity, along with notes of violets and red fruits. The Mourvèdre component adds complexity with charred baking spices such as cinnamon, clove, and cumin. Refined tannins in the wine serve to balance the acidity and provide texture, while allowing the wine to present a more fruit-forward, elegant finish with depth and complexity.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with lean red meats such as venison as well as a variety of earthy components.
