Waterford Wine Estate

Waterford Wine Estate

The Ord and Arnold families dreamed of a wine estate, where life is cherished, the seasons mark time and the fruit always reminds of blessings, abundance and the beauty of nature.

The perfect piece of land was found in a place that stirred the hearts of each person who breathed its air, nestled in the Helderberg range, trickling streams of crystal water down to the then-imagined home.

The children saw it as a place of water, coolness in the heat, elixir of the vines. So the families bought the land in the autumn of 1998, built the dwellings and winery from the stone and timber it provided, and called the estate Waterford - a celebration of its succulence for each generation to come who will treasure this wine farm.

The realising of this dream was the birth of the Waterford Way, which is more than the farm and its wines. It's a philosophy that honours prosperity, celebrates life, food and wine, and loves family and friends with passion.

The fountain in the courtyard is a symbol of the exuberance of the Waterford Way and the distinctive wines that are born of this land.

The uniqueness of the terroir, the passion of these two families and the masterful talent of Kevin Arnold form a catalyst for wines that are relished around the world.

Whether it's the season for growing, waiting, bottling or distributing, Waterford gives vibrancy and energy to every task at hand, and this love of the art of winemaking is in the hearts and hands of each grape-picker, each bottler, each student who helps to make each vintage memorable. The families especially love having young hands helping on the farm to make some pocket money, as the youthful energy resonates so strongly with the Waterford Way.

And each vintage pays tribute to the families who make these wines, by bearing the name of a family member. Waterford's values and traditions will become a heritage carried through generations to come.

To Kevin, the barrel room is his church. While Waterford may be young, this passionate lover of wines is no newcomer to the art. Nine years at Delheim and 10 years at Rust en Vrede testify to the quality of wine that he has influenced.

Now he has lived a winemaker's dream of choosing the land that will grow the vines of his own wines. Stellenbosch is legendary for its yield of delicious wines, and the Helderberg terroir offers a delicate combination of latitude, soil, climate and weather, giving its wines their distinctive flavours and subtle nuances.

Only a masterful winemaker knows how to use the richness of the elements to produce wines that are truly original and become life-long favourites. Kevin uses the minerals of these 120Ha of Helderberg Valley he chose to give character and verve to his unique wines, and judges around the world have applauded his talent, with enviable awards, especially to his reds.
