Cape Winemakers Guild

Waterford Estate 2009 Auction Reserve BB

Selected vineyard parcels were fermented in 2 000 litre stainless steel tanks. The blend was made post malolactic fermentation and aged for 26 months in MT French oak barrels, with a single egg white fining prior to bottling. Tasting Notes: The very distinctive Helderberg/Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon character is enhanced by the purity of the Merlot fruit from this exceptional vintage. The mouthfeel and texture of the wine, with a classically dry finish, are the hallmarks of this blend. Enjoy with roast leg of lamb done with fresh rosemary, anchovies and garlic with oven baked potatoes and fresh veggies.
