The wine
Waterford Estate The Jem 2015 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a red wine, but its grape variety is not yet confirmed in the catalogue.
The vineyard evidence
No verified vineyard or named parcel is linked yet. BottlePicker therefore does not assign a soil, elevation or site temperature to this bottle from its regional name alone.

No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context
No cultivar temperature guidance is shown until the grape is identified.
Official US label evidence
Historical Texas label approval
One official label approval has the same normalised product name as this BottlePicker record. These approvals pre-date September 2021 and help check identity, stated ABV and the responsible trade name; they do not prove that the current bottle has the same formula, remains registered or is available in Texas.

Matched by exact normalised product name; no label artwork is copied. Source: Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission approved labels (opens in a new tab) via the Texas Open Data Portal. The portal does not specify a reuse licence for third-party label artwork, so BottlePicker links to the official PDF and publishes attributed factual extraction only. No state endorsement is implied.
Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
Waterford Estate’s flagship red blend, named after owner Jeremy Ord (“Jem”), represents the very best of the vintage through a meticulous assemblage of red varietals.
Winemaking
A combination of carefully selected parcels from the estate was fermented and matured separately before blending. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is bottled after careful ageing to ensure balance and elegance.
Tasting Notes
Enticing aromatics of dark chocolate and plum, layered with earthy tones, clove spice, crushed violets, and a medley of dark and red berries. The palate is well balanced, with velvety tannins providing structure, complemented by natural acidity that lends vibrancy and a long, elegant finish. Blend 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Shiraz, 9% Mourvèdre, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Sangiovese, 3% Barbera.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with roast beef, game, or rich pasta dishes. Vintage Conditions The 2015 vintage in Stellenbosch offered seamless purity and palate texture. Moderate ripening ensured natural acidity and tension in the fruit, complemented by savoury, earthy aromas and refined tannins. Winter ended early, followed by warm, dry, and windless flowering conditions, setting the stage for a classic vintage.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
