Tasting Notes
Light Pomegranate in colour, this is what summer drinking is all about. Loads of ripe strawberries, sweet cherry and raspberries on the nose, vivid with bright succulence and a lingering fruity aftertaste. Light and delicious... a great wine to enjoy and flirt over.

In The Vineyard
Terroir: Vineyards from different slopes and different soils were used for this blend. The cool nights and cool South-westerly wind in the afternoons cooled the vineyards down and helped to form the elegant fruit flavours. Soil types consisted of weathered granite to deep red and well drained soils.
Vineyard type: Bush Vine, no irrigation
