Waterford Estate "Antigo"

Elegant. Harmonious. A Bordeaux-inspired masterpiece from the Helderberg.
Waterford Estate Antigo is a thoughtfully crafted red blend, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller portions of Petit Verdot and Merlot, designed to showcase the estate’s signature balance of power and refinement. Sourced from select Helderberg vineyards, the grapes benefit from cool mountain breezes and granite-rich soils, resulting in a wine that is structured, nuanced, and exceptionally elegant.

Antigo reflects Waterford’s philosophy of precision and restraint. Rather than overwhelming the senses with sheer intensity, it unfolds gracefully, revealing layers of blackcurrant, plum, and dark cherry, interwoven with hints of graphite, cedar, and gentle spice. The subtle Merlot adds plushness, while Petit Verdot contributes depth, colour, and a touch of aromatic complexity. This is a wine that rewards patience, offering sophistication without pretense.

For wine lovers in Ireland, Antigo is a versatile premium red — perfect for special occasions, intimate dinners, or pairing with rich, flavourful dishes. Its seamless structure, refined tannins, and polished fruit make it an approachable yet memorable wine, embodying Waterford’s signature elegance.

Why we love it:
A beautifully balanced red blend with Cabernet Sauvignon at its heart. Black fruit, fine tannins, and subtle spice create a wine that is structured yet approachable — perfect for premium dining or relaxed enjoyment in Ireland.
