Tasting Notes

A sweet dessert wine, with strong raisin and berry flavours. Light ruby colour with brick specks. Raisin perfumes with notes of luscious litchi and peach tastes and a smooth, lingering finish. Delicious on its own during winter or over crushed ice with lemon zest in the summer!

About The Harvest

In The Cellar

Grapes that have turned into raisins due to being harvested at peak ripeness contribute a delightful honey flavour to the wine. The grapes are destemmed and undergo a gentle maceration process to extract their colour, aroma, and flavour. After 48 hours of skin contact, the juice is separated from the skins and fortified

Additional Information

In celebration of Our Floral Heritage, we have launched a special Wildflower label for our beverages that do not fit within our main wine collections. The character and quality of wine are primarily influenced by two key factors: nature—encompassing soil, climate, and location—and the human element, which includes cultivar selection, viticultural practices, and winemaking techniques. Of these influences, nature is deemed the most significant, playing a crucial role in shaping the final product.
