Cherry red with a blushing hue. A complex and evolving mix of fresh fruit and spice aromas immediately leaps from the glass. Red fruits, specifically raspberries and strawberries, intertwine with notes of concentrated cherries. This fruit core is beautifully lifted by a heady perfume of roses, potpourri, and warm spice, particularly cinnamon. Earthy undergrowth notes provide depth, resulting in an incredibly expressive and complex array of evolving aromas. The entry is glossy, delivering a burst of fruit sweetness, featuring lip-smacking strawberries and cherries. Despite the appearance of lightweight red fruits, the palate reveals a dense fruit concentration. The plush mid-palate leads into satin-like, fine tannins that fan out into a sinewy latticework of complex flavours. This is a journey of discovery, offering something different with every taste, keeping the consumer continually engaged. The wine is ultimately full of character.

This wine was sourced from the north facing Hazeldene Vineyard, sited in the red volcanic soils of Gladysdale.

A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine: whole berry/bunch fermentation in open vessels for two weeks followed by an 11 month maturation in French oak vessels.

A cool wet spring and summer followed by a dry and temperate autumn has delivered balanced crops in near perfect harvesting conditions. The resulting wines show elegant varietal flavours, freshness, and balanced acidities.
