Darling Cellars Reserve is a wine range of straight varietals where the focus is on fruit driven, varietal true, value for money wines. The Arum Fields refer to the Arum lilies that bloom wildly in the fields in August.

in the vineyard :

The grapes were harvested from dryland farmed vineyards in Darling, where the vines are not trellised and planted as bush vines on a combination of laterite soils 15 km from the Atlantic Ocean. These grapes ripen as nature intended without human intervention, we do monitor vineyards for optimal picking times, adopting a combination of sampling and tasting to optimize the richer tropical (thiol) notes.

in the cellar : Crush and destalk, 14 days fermentation at 14-15°C. Grapes and juice handled reductively to prevent oxidation. Maturation: Left on lees for 3 months to add complexity.
