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
Waterford has been making Chenin Blanc since its establishment under the Pecan Stream label. For the last 4 years there has been great effort to secure old vine Chenin Blanc grapes sourced from the Stellenbosch region. This enables us to make world-class wines under the Waterford label. 2018 is the maiden vintage of this wine. Showing wonderful purity and elegance. Flavours of peach, floral honey and pithy stone fruit. Very well textured pallet with fruit complexity and creaminess.
