Product information "Waterford The Jem 2017"

Dark and dense ruby red with a cherry red rim, the Waterford The Jem presents itself in the glass and exudes a generally seductive and complex bouquet of dark cherries, soft leather, dark cocoa beans, ripe blackberries and clove with fine hints of black pepper and charcoal. This masterful drop embodies stunning finesse and remarkable fruit purity with silky cherry nuances and warm spices in an almost endless finish.
The Waterford The Jem embodies the entire philosophy of the Waterford Winery and fully expresses the diversity of the estate's grape varieties. Its seductive aromas of fresh fruit and wild spices, as well as its warmth and complexity, are wonderfully complemented by the well-integrated tannins. The elegant and at the same time incredibly long lasting finish presents itself classically dry and leaves nothing to be desired.

Treatment in the cellar

The fermentation took place in steel tanks, after which the wine matured for 19 months in French 225 litre oak barrels, 32% of which were made of virgin wood.
