A combination of fruit has been sourced from the Ebenezer and Eden Valley regions. And the aim has been to gently coax it through fermentation to maturation with minimal input. As a result, it was wild fermented and a gentle extraction process was adopted to achieve that final plush, gentle and intense palate. It’s loaded with slightly creamy black fruits, dried herbs, spices and even a little bit of olive tapenade, adding further character and edge. Neat, long finish. Excellent wine.
