Waterford Antigo 2021

Get to know: Waterford Estate Antigo 2021

A refined South African red wine from the Helderberg slopes of Stellenbosch, showcasing a Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend with real depth and elegance.

Tasting Note

Waterford Estate Antigo 2021 is an elegant red blend that brings together plush fruit and a polished structure with real finesse. Deep ruby in colour with lifted aromas of redcurrant, black cherry, subtle tobacco, and a touch of sweet oak spice. On the palate, this Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon blend is generous yet composed, with layers of ripe red and dark fruits, a hint of graphite, and a gentle peppery edge. Fine, silky tannins carry the fruit beautifully, leading to a long, textured finish with a fresh mineral lift. A beautifully balanced Stellenbosch red wine that combines approachability with serious ageing potential.

Top food pairings:

  • Roast leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic
  • Slow-cooked beef casserole
  • Grilled ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce
Kate Says

"This is a very classy Stellenbosch red – ripe, elegant and just the right side of serious. There’s a lovely peppery freshness alongside all that dark fruit, and it feels like a wine you can really sit with and enjoy."
