Description

With its signature blush hue from the Blanc de Noir style, this elegant rosé is crafted from premium Mediterranean varietals. Aromas of white peach and rose water lead into layers of ripe strawberry and apricot on the palate, lifted by a refreshing mineral backbone. Perfectly balanced and textural, it finishes long and graceful, offering purity, finesse, and complexity that make it ideal for warm afternoons or refined dining.
Crafted in the traditional Provence Blanc de Noir style, this rosé is made from red grapes with just three hours of skin contact for its delicate blush hue. Using gentle whole-bunch pressing, the process preserves freshness, imparts subtle herbal and spicy notes, and enhances elegance. The result is a refined balance of vibrant Mediterranean fruit, soft texture, and layered complexity.

Winemaker: Mark le Roux
Waterford Estate was established in 1998 with the intention of producing the very best wines in the country. Being based on the Helderberg Mountain, in Stellenbosch, the Estate excels in producing Red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, the main two blending components in their Flagship The Jem. They chose to use only half of the total 120 hectares of their land for the planting of vines in order to preserve and protect the natural fauna and flora. The Waterford Way is a philosophy that celebrates prosperity, life, food, wine, family and friends, and guides all that they do at Waterford Estate.
