Waterford believes in an experience they feel is more about wine. Their philosophy celebrates food, wine, friends, family and the prosperous life in general. They refer to this as "the Waterford way" and believe it's reflected in their wines, as well as a visit to their estate, a visually spectacular piece of land nestled below the Helderberg Mountains.
Kevin Arnold has won consistent awards and acclaim for his serious yet enjoyable wines. Though possibly more attention is given to his Shiraz and Cabernet offerings, their Chardonnay is a winner. Grown, made and bottled on the estate, the overwhelming majority of wine is fermented in French barrels and left on lees for almost four months.
Though it shows good oak and toasty flavours, the wine is a more understated style than many of its peers, with excellent balance. Clean citrus fruit flavours end in an elegant finish that is full but not overbearing at all.

A very elegant, minerally Chardonnay. Incredible balance. One of his finest vintages, woah!! I'm looking forward to the future ones.

Just like the Waterford estate, the people and all their wines, this Chardonnay is really something special - always a winner!
