Nestled in the Helderberg range lies the realisation of a dream!
A dream where life is cherished, where time is marked by the seasons and where the fruit is a constant reminder of abundance and the beauty of nature.
It is here that the Ord and Arnold families dreamed of a wine farm and bore witness to the birth of “The Waterford Way” : a philosophy that honours prosperity, celebrates life, food and wine and loves family and friends with passion.
The uniqueness of the terroir, the passion of these two families and the masterful talent of winemaker, Kevin Arnold, has formed a catalyst for wines that are relished around the world.
For a wine estate that is a relative new comer to the South African wine scene, Waterford has established top class listings in South Africa and internationally.
In aspiring to be a leading South African wine producer, particularly in reds, they have produced an outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon. Made using 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 5% Merlot, their 2003 vintage is a classic! Displaying fruit aromas with a hint of well integrated oak vanillas this great vintage has produced wonderful tannins that are classically dry and yet yielding on flavour experience and mouthfeel. It is an ultimate food wine that particularly compliments most red meats, game and ostrich and accompanying sauces.
Jean’s Thoughts
I am always on guard when I want to buy a Cabernet Sauvignon. Price could go way above average, the fruit flavours could be eccentric, and the alcohol content, heavy. Well, Waterford is on our list and it is no wonder why. Taste it and see...
Brendon’s Thoughts
The name ‘Waterford’ has always been synonymous with quality, and here, we taste it yet again in another superb vintage. The wine, although a little young, can be drunk now or aged further depending on your willpower. Its a fairly versatile wine in the sense that one could drink it on it's own (at 16-18°C) or preferably with a classic Caveau fillet. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
At Caveau: R 165.00 per bottle
