The Library Collection Edition #2 Cabernet Sauvignon

Savoury red meats work beautifully Salt a key factor to the dish

This Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of two different vineyards on the farm. 50% Spring vineyard and the other 50% Pebble vineyard. Pebble vineyard is the highest altitude vineyard, it is also planted parallel to the ocean breeze so it gains tremendously from the cooling effect. Wine comes across more graphite, cold stone, and with hints of fresh fruit with a tighter tannin structure, yet the wine is very elegant and perfumed in presentation.

Aged in French oak 225L barrels for 19 months. 30% 2nd fill, 30% 3rd fill, 30% 4th fill

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.
