Shiraz is a variety chosen for its property of expressing a sense of place, and in this instance, vineyards located in the Helderberg region of Stellenbosch. Lingering aromatics of dark plums, liquorice spice, subtly layered with earthy notes are typical characteristics. The wine is vinified and matured in 500-litre, older barriques to preserve the delicate aromas and structure of the wine. Our Waterford Shiraz is named after the first winemaker at the Estate, who had an incredible passion for the cultivar.
