Complex red and dark fruit, with earthy notes and a cold stone character, lead the aromatics of this Stellenbosch Shiraz, accompanied by plum fruit and subtle leathery spice undertones. Natural acidity and classic granular tannins are characteristic of the style of a Stellenbosch Shiraz.
Shiraz was chosen for its ability to express a true sense of place, in this case the vineyards surrounding Waterford in Stellenbosch. The wine is vinified and matured in older barriques to preserve its delicate aromas and structure. Each vintage is dedicated to one of the children of the Ord or Arnold families.
Kevin has a deep passion for this varietal, and it has always been a personal favorite. Over the last 20 years, this wine has grown into an exceptional brand with followers around the world.
This vintage is named after Robert Charles, the eldest son of Kevin and Heather Arnold.

Waterford Estate was established in 1998 with the intention of producing the very best wines in the country. Being based on the Helderberg Mountain, in Stellenbosch, the Estate excels in producing Red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, the main two blending components in their Flagship The Jem. They chose to use only half of the total 120 hectares of their land for the planting of vines in order to preserve and protect the natural fauna and flora. The Waterford Way is a philosophy that celebrates prosperity, life, food, wine, family and friends, and guides all that they do at Waterford Estate.
