WATERFORD SAUVIGNON BLANC
We’d expect no less from the leading apple producing region in South Africa. The characteristic chalky/slate soils bring out precision in aromatics and fresh minerality in the wine. Waterford’s Sauvignon pops with crisp freshness, and an acidic zing. (If you’re the kind of person who makes those happy humming sounds when you taste something pleasant—get ready to make some noise.)Helpful Highlights

Wines made under this appellation meet higher standards than their cousins in the Cotes de Rhone plains. A single sip erupts with black cherry, currant and raspberry— then charms with a finish of cedar and spice.Helpful Highlights
