Information about "Waterford The Jem 2017"

In the glass, the Waterford The Jem presents a rich ruby hue, accompanied by a shadowy garnet rim. This wine delights with an intricate bouquet of dark cherries, supple leather, dark cocoa, ripe blackberries, and nuanced clove, complemented by whispers of black pepper and charcoal. A true reflection of finesse, it offers remarkable clarity of fruit, silky cherry notes, and a medley of warm spices, culminating in a long, elegant finish.
Waterford The Jem encapsulates the estate's philosophy by highlighting the diverse grape varieties of the vineyard. With captivating aromas of fresh fruits and exotic spices, its richness and complexity are perfectly balanced by well-integrated tannins. The classically dry and lasting finish ensures satisfaction.

Treatment in the cellar

Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks, followed by 19 months of maturation in French 225-liter oak barrels, 32% of which were new wood.
