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 Jem 2016 exhibits a rich complexity on the nose, combining red and black berries with hints of dried herbs, rose petals, earthy tones, and spices such as cinnamon and soft vanilla from oak aging. The palate mirrors the nose with medium body, refined tannins, and a vibrant acidity that leads to a long, lingering finish with a touch of minerality.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs beautifully with red meat dishes such as grilled lamb or beef, roasted vegetables, and mature cheeses. Its complex flavors and structure make it a great match for hearty and flavorful foods.
