The Waterford Antigo is our ode to the red-clay soil that nurtures the Cabernet Sauvignon used to create a wine that is elegant, refined and fruit-driven. On the nose, the wine is perfumed with layers of vanilla, tobacco, bright cherries and more traditional leather and oak spice. The palate mirrors this complexity with vibrant red fruits following from the nose, balanced by a refined and integrated tannin structure and a bright acidity. The wine is elegant and smooth, showcasing both power and finesse with a generous mineral finish.
Evolution after 5 years
Ageing is evident in the colour shift, as red mellows to brown at the edges. The smooth tannins and balancing acidity further integrate into the wine as the vibrant fruit character turns to a mature dried fruit quality. This homogenisation contributes to a lasting, fruit-driven finish with a mineral edge. With each sip, the wine unfolds a tapestry of flavours, leaving a memorable impression on the palate.
A delicious hearty dish pairs perfectly with this wine. The plush red fruit notes will beautifully complement meaty casseroles and a roast leg of lamb, enhancing the savory flavours of the meal with its elegance.
