Description

The Waterford Antigo takes its name from the colour of the soils in which this specific Cabernet Vineyard is planted, that makes up majority of the blend. Waterford Estate is located on the Helderberg Mountain, renowned for producing the best red wines in South Africa, especially Cabernet Sauvignon. The red clay, rich soils which bring softer and plush elegant fruit to the aromatics. They also create tannins which are richer softer and sweeter to what we are used to on Waterford Estate. The original plan was to release it as a single varietal wine, but its uniqueness necessitated the creation of the blend.  The 2020 vintage is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc.

Food pairing: A delicious hearty dish pairs perfectly with this wine, the plush red fruits notes will be perfectly complimented with meaty casseroles and a roast leg of lamb.
