Description:
Wine Bouquet The wine has a wonderfully lifted clean and fresh aroma. Lime and green apple marry harmoniously with orange marmalade, buttered toast and honey. Wine Palate This wine shows the complexity of aged riesling while maintaining its youthful acidity. Lime marmalade, toast and honey can be used to describe the complex palate. Lively acidity ensures the wines elegant balance and longevity. The wine has a soft but refreshing finish and long persistence of flavour.
This is a dark red wine with a vibrant purple hue. The bouquet is showing attractive varietal fruit aromas of spice, mint, plum and cassis along with those reminiscent of rich fruitcake intertwine and are balanced by cedar, cigar box and vanilla oak nuances. On the palate this wine offers rich fruit cake flavours with sweet plum and cassis characters dominating. It is a flavoursome yet elegant wine with fine, long tannins, while the Oak derived characters such as tobacco leaf and cedar ensure the palate is not one-dimensional. (12 x 75 cl)
