Waterford
wines are worth tasting
On
the way back down the mountain from Keermont and De Trafford, you come to Waterford and, as we had a friend
from Australia with us, we went in for their superb tasting

We decided to do the combined tasting, which
includes their famous chocolate and wine pairing. Their excellent Shiraz,
Cabernet Sauvignon and Natural Sweet wine are paired with dark and milk
chocolate. We particularly liked the rose geranium chocolate with the natural
sweet Heatherleigh blend of Muscat d’Alexandre and Semillon. The entire tasting
is a tour de force
The tasting was superb and we were so well taken
care of by Nick Battle, who works in the tasting room. He started work here while he
was a student at Stellenbosch University and now has lots of experience of
the Waterford wines and what the customers' needs are. Do go and treat yourself
to this tasting, you will love it. Or you can do a wine drive around the estate
in their Game Viewing Land Rover
