WINE DESCRIPTION

Waterford Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium red wine produced by Waterford Estate, a renowned winery located in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. The wine is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the estate's vineyards, which benefit from the region's unique terroir and climate. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-picking and sorting of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex Cabernet Sauvignon, with rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, and a long, smooth finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Waterford Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium-bodied red wine with a deep ruby-purple color.On the nose, aromas of ripe black currant, blackberry, and blueberry mingle with hints of cedar, baking spices, and leather. On the palate, flavors of black cherry, tobacco, and dark chocolate reveal themselves in a smooth and velvety texture. Balanced tannins and a long finish make this a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats and hearty dishes.
