“The Jem is gloriously unique, built on a base of Cabernet Sauvignon with 52% Syrah, Mourvèdre, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese and Barbera towering above it. Part Bordeaux, part Rhône Valley part northern Italy, it's also uniquely South African, with stylish, perfumed, elegant aromas and flavours of red and black fruits, nuanced oak and a long, tapering finish.”

"We had the most amazing private event which was hosted at Waterford for the Vintage with Love Lunch for Literacy. Thanks, Waterford."

"The wines are absolutely amazing, but the highlight of this visit was by far the wine drive with Brett. There’s something truly special about enjoying Chardonnay right by the Chardonnay block in the vineyard. Plus, if you're going to spend three hours discussing wine in a Land Rover, it has to be with someone knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate. Every inch of Waterford is breathtaking!"

"Waterford hosted over 190 ladies in their beautiful, intimate courtyard. The carefully curated three-course set menu, paired with their amazing wines, was a delight at this event! The starter featured a deliciously light salad made with fresh tomatoes. The main dish was a delightful surprise! The pasta with chicken breast was cooked al dente and served hot. The dessert was equally refreshing. The service was absolutely excellent! Overall, I give it five stars!"

"Waterford hosted over 190 ladies in their beautiful, intimate courtyard for a delightful event. The thoughtfully selected three-course menu, paired with their exquisite wines, truly impressed us! The starter featured a light and flavourful tomato-based salad. The main dish was a pleasant surprise—pasta with chicken breast cooked to perfection and served hot. The dessert was equally refreshing and satisfying. The service was outstanding, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I give it five stars!"
