Waterford The Jem is the flagship wine of the renowned South African Waterford Estate. This exceptional red wine cuvée combines the estate's best grapes and reflects the unique terroir of Stellenbosch. Named after the founder Jeremy Ord ("Jem"), this wine stands for craftsmanship, complexity and elegance at the highest level.
Up to eight different grape varieties are combined for The Jem, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Each grape variety is vinified separately in order to bring out its individual character traits in the best possible way. After temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine is matured for at least 20 months in French oak barrels, followed by further bottle ageing to perfectly integrate the aromas and refine the tannins.
In the glass, Waterford The Jem is a deep ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose is characterized by a complex bouquet of dark berries, cassis and ripe plums, complemented by fine notes of fynbos, vanilla oak, crushed violets and cloves. On the palate, velvety tannins provide fullness, while the natural acidity ensures liveliness and elegance. The wine finishes on a lingering mineral note, presenting a classic dry profile and generous texture.
Waterford The Jem harmonizes perfectly with strong meat dishes such as fillet of beef, rack of lamb or wild boar ragout. Matured hard cheese or dishes with truffles also underline its profound aroma.
