Darling Cellars Wildflower Red Muscadel NV
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!

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.
Food SuggestionsSavour this with a cheese and fruit platter after dinner, or complement it with treats featuring cherry and chocolate. A cozy nightcap by the fire is always a winning choice during the winter months.

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
