Description

Intense red and purple hues in the glass, with fresh and voluptuous flavours of black cherry, blackberry, chocolate and spice. Deep spice engage with notes of ripe berries with hints of smoke and espresso, culminating in a soft velvety finish. This wine has the flavour, structure and balance to be enjoyed now or offers added satisfaction from further cellaring.

The grapes were picked between 13.5 to 14.0 Baume to produce the fruit flavours that are required to make this great wine. The grapes were fermented in a mixture of vessels to produce as much colour and flavour as possible. A portion of each of the different wines underwent oak during fermentation and once dry, the remaining went to oak until the right balance was achieved. Careful tasting and blending, help produce this wine of style and great value for money.

Life has its ups and downs. It can be both brutal and beautiful. You can hole yourself away to avoid life’s pain, but then the beauty seldom finds it’s way in. It’s only when you attempt to go where you cannot go, or do what you cannot do, that you can achieve what you are truly capable of dong. Sure, you might tumble. You might fall, so what? Take a chance. Go way out on the Limb. Dare to try-even if it’s just a shot in the dark.
