Refined. Sculpted. A South African icon of purity and elegance.
Waterford Estate Chardonnay is more than a white wine — it is the distilled expression of a unique corner of Stellenbosch, where granite-rich soils, mountain breezes, and meticulous winemaking combine to create a Chardonnay of remarkable poise. Crafted with absolute precision, it embodies everything that makes Waterford one of South Africa’s most respected premium estates: balance, finesse, and a sense of place communicated with quiet confidence.
The Helderberg terroir gives Chardonnay a voice that is unmistakably its own — bright citrus, layered stone fruit, and a saline mineral thread that feels almost Burgundian in structure yet distinctly South African in character. It’s a wine that evolves beautifully in the glass, shifting from fresh vibrancy to gentle creaminess as it opens.
For wine lovers in Ireland, Waterford Estate Chardonnay offers rare harmony: generous but never heavy, luxurious yet effortlessly drinkable. It is the sort of bottle that elevates a dinner, rewards contemplation, and delivers a true premium experience from the first pour to the final lingering finish.
Waterford Estate’s commitment to purity and craftsmanship shines through every detail — from hand-selected fruit to restrained oak ageing. This is Chardonnay elevated to its most graceful form, a wine that speaks with clarity, precision, and real pedigree.
Why we love it:
A world-class Chardonnay that blends purity, texture, and finesse. Vibrant citrus and peach notes meet subtle oak and a clean mineral backbone, creating a wine that feels both luxurious and beautifully balanced. In Ireland, it’s a stunning choice for elegant dinners, seafood feasts, or whenever you want a premium white that truly impresses.

Colour
Clear lemon-gold with bright, crystalline reflections.
Nose
Lemon zest, ripe nectarine, and white peach layered with toasted almonds, wet stone, and a whisper of vanilla and brioche.
Palate
Medium-bodied and exquisitely textured. Fresh citrus and stone fruit glide alongside fine minerality and subtle creaminess, shaped by precise oak integration. The finish is long, pure, and beautifully composed — a signature of Waterford’s refined style.
Waterford Estate Chardonnay is a superb companion for refined, flavour-driven dishes. Serve chilled and pair with:
- Pan-seared scallops or grilled lobster with lemon butter
- Roast chicken with thyme, garlic, and crispy skin
- Creamy mushroom risotto or pumpkin gnocchi
- Soft-ripened cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, or Delice de Bourgogne
- Fresh seafood platters, a favourite pairing for many in Ireland
Its poised acidity and delicate oak make it a versatile premium white, perfect for both celebratory meals and elevated everyday dining.
