Production
The grapes are sorted, de-stemmed and crushed. Fermentation process starts with juice still on the grape skins, whereafter the wine is left on the grape skins for a further 6 months. The clear wine is then racked, blended and bottled.
Tasting notes
Intense savoury nose with notes of dried citrus peel, marmalade, brown spice and almond. Full flavoured and textural on the palate with flavours of apricot kernel and fruit peel followed by a fine bitter orange finish.
Food match
The wine pairs well with bolder, fuller dishes like Moroccan curries and rich stews, but will also highlight the ‘umami’ factor in most modern Asian dishes.
