About this product
Delicate. Poised. A rosé crafted with the elegance of fine perfume.
Waterford Estate Rose-Mary is not just a rosé — it is an expression of artistry and restraint. Inspired by the estate’s botanical gardens and the gentle fragrance of the Helderberg mountains, this wine is crafted from Rhône and Mediterranean varieties picked early for freshness and delicacy. Named after Waterford’s co-founder, Rosemary Wilson, it captures her spirit: refined, graceful and quietly captivating.
From the first glance, Rose-Mary speaks in whispers of pale pink petals and soft light. It’s a wine built on finesse, offering crystalline clarity, lifted aromatics, and a texture so fine it feels almost weightless. Designed to be refreshingly dry, it delivers purity and precision rather than sweetness, making it one of South Africa’s most elegant rosés.
For wine lovers in Ireland, it’s a dream pairing for long summer evenings, fresh seafood, and relaxed gatherings. Light enough to enjoy on its own, yet complex enough to reward contemplation, Rose-Mary is the definition of understated luxury — the kind of wine that effortlessly elevates every moment.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it is an ode to balance, beauty, and the Waterford philosophy of harmony with nature.
Why we love it:
A feather-light, beautifully dry rosé with floral charm, bright red berry notes, and elegant minerality. Its delicacy, balance, and sense of refinement make it a standout for warm evenings and seafood-focused meals in Ireland.

Colour
Ultra-pale blush, like a soft pink sunset over the Helderberg mountains.
Nose
Fresh strawberries, pomegranate, rose petals, citrus blossom, and a hint of white peach.
Palate
Light, crisp, and exquisitely refined. Delicate red berry fruit glides across the palate with refreshing acidity, subtle florals, and a cool mineral backbone. Exceptionally dry, with a long, whisper-soft finish that invites another sip.
Food pairing
Rosé-Mary’s delicacy and dryness make it wonderfully food-friendly. Serve chilled and pair with:
- Fresh oysters, prawns, or chilled seafood platters
- Sushi, sashimi, or lightly spiced Asian dishes
- Summer salads with citrus vinaigrette
- Grilled halloumi, caprese, or Mediterranean mezze
- Light poultry dishes or rosemary-infused roast vegetables
A beautiful choice for warm-weather dining in Ireland, where its pure freshness complements seafood, summer produce, and al fresco meals.
