Ripe blackcurrant and blueberry aromas with a hint of mint move from the glass to the medium bodied mouthfeel on this unwooded wine. Pair with assorted vegetarian dishes or spiced Asian cuisine.

Linton Park Wine Estate is part of the Groenberg appellation in a dramatically beautiful mountainous terrain. Our 294ha Estate is minutes away from the charming and rustic town of Wellington in South Africa’s Western Cape. Proceeds from this wine range (of a Rand a bottle sold) are donated annually to support our conservation partner. We are aligned to Rhinos without Borders who translocate the animals to Botswana. We are deeply committed to sustainability in all our farming practices, protecting our Rhino field, eradicating alien vegetation and recycling water.

about the harvest: Grapes were hand picked in the early hours of the harvesting day from selected vineyard blocks on the Estate.

in the cellar : Grapes were destemmed and crushed before undergoing a controlled fermentation in steel tanks, with twice daily pump overs. After pressing and malolactic fermentation the wine was stabilised and filtered. Then bottled into a lightweight 350gr bottle before being distributed.
