Tasting Note

From vines planted in 1966, Waterford's Chenin Blanc carries the Certified Heritage Vineyards seal of South Africa's Old Vine Project. The colour has a lovely soft yellow/green hue. The main aromas are white pear and pithy grapefruit, followed by elements of peach pip, light honeycomb and soft floral notes. The mouth-feel is layered and smooth but holds a tremendous amount of mineral flavour and depth. The concrete egg fermentation drives purity and minerality which creates a lovely fresh and soft “sweet fruit” finish, on the palate.

Product Notes

Waterford Estate Old Vine Project Chenin Blanc is a truly exceptional white wine that embodies the rich history and tradition of the Waterford Estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Made from grapes sourced from some of the oldest vineyards in the region, this wine showcases the depth and complexity that comes with age. Bursting with aromas of ripe tropical fruits, citrus, and honey, this Chenin Blanc offers a vibrant and refreshing palate with a perfect balance of acidity and minerality. With a long, lingering finish, this wine is perfect for savoring on its own or paired with a variety of dishes.

About the Winery

Waterford Estate

Waterford Estate is a famous boutique winery in the hub of Stellenbosch wine region, South Africa. Established in 1998, it is an Eco-friendly and sustainable wine estate.

Waterford Estate, by Jeremy Ord, is born out of a love for South Africa's landscape and his passion for wine. In 1998, he purchased it and commenced with the plantation of vineyards on it in the rich soil of Helderberg Mountain.
Renowned designer Alex Walker also designed a winery that incorporates the natural landscape in its design. The winery leads into a beautiful estate that perfectly fits the mountain and vineyard surroundings.

Waterford Estate produces sustainable wine using water. The winery uses several eco-friendly techniques in an attempt to reduce environmental degradation. The estate applies a drip irrigation system to save water, and plants cover crops between the vine rows to avoid soil erosion.
