Just as in winemaking, it is not about a single season, harvest or vintage - it's about continuity, longevity and perpetuation; building for the future and the generations to come.
The Waterford Way is a philosophy that celebrates prosperity, life, food, wine, family and friends, and guides all that we do here at Waterford. Every guest to the farm is made to feel a part of the Waterford Way, and those who have visited are drawn back often not only to the sumptuous wines, but to the heart and soul of Waterford.
The single label Kevin Arnold Shiraz is a personal expression of the spice and mocca characters this grape shows in the Helderberg - Stellenbosch vineyards. Beautifully soft and velvety tannins make for a great and memorable glass of wine.
Kevin Arnold is a single label brand that was first released in 1999 with the 1998 Kevin Arnold Shiraz. Each vintage is dedicated to one of the Ord and Arnold children by carrying their name on the label.
