Warm appeal of ripe blackberry, cherry and fruitcake aromas. Those same flavours step confidently onto the palate; black cherry, fruitcake and blackberry – with a light brush of herbs and trace of bonfire smoke too. Gentle and easy textured, its light to medium body makes for effortless enjoyment. Supple and succulent to the end.
Understated nose of citrus peel and leaf with floral note on the edges. The wine is rounded with typical gentle citrus and orange flavour, bright and juicy. The palate broadens with a creamy lees element adding to the ripe fruit and marmalade notes. Good breadth, depth and overall harmony. Medium body and length.
A delicate nuance of chamomile adds depth and interest to the nose of typical stone fruit: apricot, and peach. Ripeness of rich fruits – nectarine, apricot and Golden Delicious apple – is tempered by a bright tang of citrus peel and fresh acidity. Adding dimension and depth is an exciting light chalky grip and evidence of time on lees. Rounded and full with good body and length. Impressive balance and focus in the way the fruit, acid and lees relate.
Warm and friendly on the nose with pleasant fruitcake, black berries, light spice and oak aromas as well as dark chocolate too. That same unfussy, engaging charm is found in the silky smooth and rounded entry. Ample appeal with tasty red and black fruit notes: plum, mulberry and soft Agen prune, Christmas cake and gentle spice highlights round out the palate. A wine that is as comfortable as a favourite pair of slippers …but there is a good frame to support the fruit, with seamless integration of oak and tannin and balanced, succulent ripeness. There is a deeper, dark chocolate and cocoa nuance which elevates the wine from the mundane. Equally impressive is the length of flavour.
Ripe nectarine, peach and stone fruit aromas with a subtle citrus edge on the nose. On the palate, that same ripe stone fruit and nectarine are found, along with a lively spritz of lemon vibrance. Bright, juicy and fresh with light, perky and energetic body which is fleshed out with an understated lees note. The balance of fruit and acidity makes it a natural match for summertime enjoyment.
A subtle blush pink hue enhances the appeal of the gentleberry aromatics - strawberry and raspberry. This same allure and seduction are present on the palate: juicy, fresh, lively, yet soft-textured and wellrounded. Abundant plum and berry flavors are balanced by vibrant acidity. The wine is textured, dry, and long-lasting, with a pleasantly lingering finish.
Aromas of tangy passionfruit, lime, and nectarine meld with notes of fresh fruit salad. The lively, crisp palate bursts with bright flavors of grapefruit, lime, and stone fruit. A vibrant acidity is complemented by a subtle hint of gravel and flint, adding layers of complexity and a dry, mineral edge to the mouthfeel. Focused and energetic, this wine finishes with a deliciously dry, lemon-zest note.
Waxy plum and blueberry aromatics with tendrils of fynbos and violet. Confident, rounded and appealing mouthful of ripe plum, pepper and dried herbs. Lively and fresh with good succulence. The wine is well structured with a good frame of integrated oak that lends a subtle nutty nuance. Lingering finish with a suggestion of salinity and liquorice.
