Production Details A wine produced by whole bunch pressing various grape varietals giving the wine a lovely transparent pink colour. The aroma is minerally driven with delicate raspberry fruit undertones. The natural acidity from the different Mediterranean varietals adds a lovely soft texture to the wine which provides a crisp and delicate finish. The perfect low alcohol wine to be enjoyed at the beginning of any meal. A vintage which will be remembered for drought and heat. Luckily for Waterford’s location on the Helderberg mountain and the near proximity to the ocean, the vineyards could cool down over night. The lack of water resulted in light weighted bunches with tiny berries, great for red wine colour and flavour. The heat also resulted in wines being lower in acidity. Red wines performed exceptionally well.
