Tasting Note

The Waterford Antigo 2021 is expressive and generous, opening with aromas of ripe red currant, subtle tobacco leaf and finely integrated oak. The palate is plush yet vibrant, with fresh acidity bringing lift and balance to its polished, layered structure. Supple, fine-grained tannins support sweet red fruit flavours through to a long, textured finish. Approachable in its youth, the wine also shows excellent ageing potential, with the promise of evolving towards savoury, dried fruit complexity and greater harmony over time.

Product Notes

Waterford Estate Antigo is a captivating red wine originating from South Africa's premium Stellenbosch region. This full-bodied wine captures attention with its profound ruby-red colour and impressive structure. Rich and flavoursome, it greets the palate with notes of mulberry, sage and thyme, underlined by solid tannins. There's a lavish interplay of cherries and dark chocolate which adds complexity, rounded off by a subtle, spicy finish. Appreciated for its longevity, Antigo maintains its balance and elegance for years. Its sophisticated yet understated character makes it an excellent choice for dinner parties or solitary indulgence.
