aromatics of violets, plums, red currants, and spices while adding a burst of effervescence.
The ultimate red wine to serve chilled.
TASTING NOTES

AROMA: Lifted ripe plum, boysenberry and confectionary aromas.
PALATE: Generous with sweet plum and rose water. A sweet front palate with zesty berry fruit, finishing with dry velvety tannins.
WINEMAKER NOTES
“The grapes are crushed and soaked on skins while fermentation slowly starts. When 50% of the sugar has fermented, the must is drained and pressed into tanks to continue fermentation. When tannins and sugar come into the balance we are looking for, generally around 40g/L, the ferment is arrested to preserve the sweetness and fresh fruit flavour. Bottled young in a ‘frizzante’ style retaining as much of the natural dissolved CO2 as possible.” Warren Proft, winemaker
FOOD PAIRING
Enjoy with Asian dishes that balance sweet and savoury, or with desserts such as a fresh plum tart with vanilla and pistachio cream and vanilla bean ice cream.
