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
This Chenin Blanc, shows aromas of dried summer fruits and a mineral characteristic that follows to the palate. The older vineyards impart minerality in the wine, that in tandem with the richly layered mouthfeel, serves to enhance the finely textured body. The palate is concentrated and rich, with green fig adding to the character of the wine. The use of concrete egg fermentation and maturation contributes to the complexity, allowing the wine to showcase the pure essence of Chenin blanc fruit.
