With the cold gloom of winter approaching, we have some brightening news to share. Our cows have given birth to another group of calves. Our herd of Dexter cattle has grown substantially over the years, starting at a mere six and now standing strong at eighteen. #farmlife

“Blending is a power tool in the cellar” – cellarmaster, Mark le Roux. Blending can create some of the most exceptional wines if done correctly, but it can also create something untoward. #blending #winemaking #cellarstories

Meet our harvest interns. From left to right, we have Jonatan, Elektra and Ben. These three have cut their winemaking teeth this year in our cellar, and we couldn’t be prouder of them. #cellarstories #winemaking #Harvest2025

Mark le Roux sheds light on the blending process, showcasing his experience and deep understanding of our vineyard. He recognises that identifying the backbone of a wine during blending allows for greater depth and complexity as additional varietals are layered in. #blending

Less than 300 meters separate the vineyard blocks that produce Waterford Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and the Waterford Antigo - but in the glass, the difference is unmistakable. #antigo #winemaking #southafricanwine

Fermentation is the process of converting sugar to alcohol and carbon dioxide using yeast. A complex process that requires careful control, but under the watchful eye of our winemaker, Jamie, we know this first step will be nurtured with care. #fermentation #VisitStellenbosch

Harmony in a blend - a difficult aspect to achieve in any wine let alone a blend. For our flagship blend, The Jem, we aim to craft the blend early allowing it to mature in barrel together for as long as possible. #blendingwine #waterfordexperience #southafricanwine

Thabo and Roland, two people who seldom venture out of the cellar but who many have seen. Their work together is invaluable in crafting the wines we make today, from pump overs to the press, their speed and experience is essential #winecellar #stellenboschwineroute #meettheteam
