Winemakers Comments
A wine which encompasses their entire philosophy at Waterford Estate, the true reflection of the diversity and fruit on the property. Intriguing aromatics of fresh fruit, wild spice, warmth and complexity complimented by the well layered and integrated tannins to offer an elegant yet long lasting finish that is classically dry and rewarding.
