Choosing when to bottle a wine at Waterford Estate

“Once it goes into bottle it’s housed for the rest of its life in that condition” - Mark le Roux, Cellarmaster.
Bottling a wine isn’t just making the wine easier to move, it is about capturing the character of the wine at just the right moment for it to be enjoyed and for it to age gracefully for many years.
The journey to bottle is a road guided by our winemaking team, their delicate touch aiding in preparing the wine to develop as it rests in your cellar.
Listen in to our winemaking team as they walk you through the journey of wine from the cellar to the bottle.
