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 nose is a captivating mix of savoury intensity and lifted aromatics, with smoky chorizo mingling with perfumed violet florals and vibrant fruit. The style borrows from classical Syrah, with fragrant elegance underscoring its bold character. On the palate, the wine is smooth and richly layered, with velvety tannins that coat the mouth and balance a bright acidity. Fresh red and black fruit notes are complemented by a mineral edge and a subtle savoury character that carries through to a persistent, linear finish. Poised and structured, this vintage shows great promise to evolve beautifully over time, revealing further complexity and finesse.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with lean red meats such as venison as well as a variety of earthy components.
