Waterford The Jem

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.

Aalto PS
How do you make an excellent wine even better? For Mariano García Fernández, the founder of the Bodega Aalto estate, this can be achieved only by selecting the best grapes. The selection of the grapes was carried out parcel by parcel. This explains the wine’s ‘PS’ designation, which stands for ‘parcel’ and ‘selection’. Only the grapes from the best parcels with the oldest vines are selected to produce the Aalto PS. The grapes for this pure varietal Tempranillo come partly from vines that are more than 60 years old. The vines grow on soils with lime and slate subsoils, giving the wine a lovely mineral freshness. The wine is aged in steel tanks before it matures for 21 months in new French barriques. Subsequently, the wine is aged for another 6 months in used casks. The Aalto PS is a dark, dense purple in colour. Its bouquet is characterised by strong notes of wood and flavours of plums and black cherries. On the palate, the wine is extremely complex, concentrated and powerful. The body continues unabated in a never-ending finish. Although the wine is already quite balanced, further ageing in the bottle will certainly enhance its quality. Serve the Aalto PS with lamb, game or tangy cheeses. This wine is a genuine delight! It is also available in a magnum bottle.
