Methode Cap Classique

Steamed crayfish tails or freshly prepared shellfish.

The 2009 vintage has classic brioche yeasty notes but surprisingly fruity for being aged on the lees for 7 years, and 1 year under cork prior to release.

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.
