Each of our wines is linked to a specific flower - the characteristics of the wine are symbolized by that particular flower on the label.

Affinity: Geissorhiza radians (Wine cup)
Geissorhiza is a large genus, 84 species, of small to medium corm bearing plants in the Iridaceae family found in the winter rainfall region of the south and west coasts of southern Africa. Many of them make very handsome container plants and benefit from extra water during growth. Geissorhiza radians is one of the most sought after. It grows to 15cm tall & has very attractive deep blue flowers with red centres, in spring. The Wine cup is our core flower representing the core-wine of our range The Affinity Blend. The Affinity is a very bold and complex wine much like the Wine Cup, which too is bold and complex.
