Waterford Estate Grenache

Graceful. Pure. A quiet masterpiece from the Helderberg.
Grenache is a grape that rewards precision, and Waterford Estate handles it with remarkable finesse. Grown on select Stellenbosch parcels where granite soils and cooling mountain breezes shape a lighter, more perfumed style, this Grenache is a revelation: elegant, lifted, and full of energy. It is one of those wines that feels effortless — bright yet layered, delicate yet expressive, carrying a calm confidence that draws you back again and again.

Rather than leaning into richness, Waterford celebrates Grenache’s natural charm: red berries, fragrant spice, fine tannins, and a mineral line that runs from start to finish. It’s crafted with a gentle touch, allowing the grape’s transparency to shine — a hallmark of premium, terroir-focused winemaking.

For wine lovers in Ireland, this is a beautifully food-friendly red that works across seasons: refreshing enough for lighter meals in spring and summer, yet complex enough to complement hearty dishes in cooler weather. It’s a wine that feels at home anywhere — elegant dinners, relaxed evenings, or simply when you want something refined and quietly captivating.

Waterford Estate Grenache is proof that true luxury doesn’t need to shout. Sometimes, all it takes is purity, balance, and craftsmanship.

Why we love it:
A refined, aromatic style of Grenache bursting with red fruit, gentle spice, and silky texture. Light on its feet yet beautifully expressive — a premium, versatile red that shines at the table, especially in Ireland’s varied food culture.
