Waterford Estate Single Vineyard Chardonnay is a truly exquisite wine hailing from the sun-kissed vineyards of South Africa. This complex chardonnay boasts an enchanting bouquet of citrus and almonds, whilst luscious flavours of yellow apple, subtle oaky nuance and crisp minerality unfold on the palate. Accompanied by a creamy texture and elegant structure, it presents an exquisite tension between its layered depth and a refreshingly crisp finish. Perfect for pairing with seafood or poultry, this vintage captures the essence of the terroir, promising a sensational wine-drinking experience.

Tasting Notes

Red clay soil adds structure to the wine, while the large granite deposits produce great minerality and finesse to the overall presentation. The 2019 vintage shows slightly richer and a fuller complexity on the palate compared to the previous vintage.
