Waterford The Jem

The Jem is Waterford Estate’s flagship red blend, crafted as a tribute to the Helderberg’s remarkable diversity of soils and the estate’s pursuit of harmony and finesse. Each vintage is composed from the eight varietals grown on the property, blended in proportions that best express the character of the year.
The wine is deep, polished, and beautifully layered, offering aromas of black cherry, cassis, graphite, warm spice, and dried herbs. The palate is luxurious yet composed, with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish that speaks clearly of its mountain origins.
A wine of precision, elegance, and longevity, The Jem is built to evolve gracefully, revealing increasing complexity over a decade or more. It stands as a benchmark for modern Stellenbosch craftsmanship — expressive, balanced, and unmistakably Waterford.
