Appearance: Dark plum colour
Bouquet & Palate: Red berries - cherry and cranberry - on the nose, violets and white pepper. The palate is rich with darker fruits and a dry tannin finish.
A vibrant expression of red fruit, this wine bursts with juicy cranberries and sour cherries, complemented by delicate hints of tomato leaf that add a savoury complexity. On the palate, refined flavours of pencil lead and violets intertwine beautifully with subtle mocha and a whisper of vanilla, creating an exquisite balance. The smooth, velvety tannins glide seamlessly through the incredibly integrated palate, leaving a lingering finish that is both salivating and deeply satisfying.
Seashell pink. Aromatics open with fresh strawberry, white peach, a hint of white cranberry, and the clean purity of wet stone - all carried by the transparent, ethereal fruit character of the Bottelary’s unique, light soils. On the palate, crunchy pink grapefruit and mixed berries lead to a core of deep raspberry and tangy acidity. Understated, with a stony texture and a pure, limpid structure; a fine thread of white pepper spice lifts and sculpts, leading to a bone-dry, precise finish.
