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
'Fermented separately but blended early, The Jem is a unique cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon with 40% Shiraz, Mourvèdre, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese and Barbera. Aged in 25% new wood, it's a red that's always more than the sum of its diverse parts. Poised, complex and nuanced, with polished tannins, wild herb and rose petal top notes and flavours of graphite, plum, red cherry and cassis. Very fine. 2025-35' – Tim Atkin South Africa Report 2024
