Adama White W.O. Wellington
Tasted as a young unfinished barrel sample, Adama White has ripe melon, pineapple yoghurt aromas with a savoury hint of fresh Paris (button) mushrooms adding an edge and depth. It is rich on the palate, broad in structure, textured with a long lemony citrus finish.
Adama Red W.O. Wellington
Intense aromas of coconut and red cherries lead to more succulent fruits on the palate. This is a medium- to full-bodied wine, dense in structure with good mid-palate weight and mellow oaky flavours. A blend of unusual varietals that enjoy the warm Wellington climate; mainly planted on schist soils with Shiraz grown in the cool upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley on decomposed granite. Component wines were matured in new American and older French oak with the final blend made up of 50% Shiraz, 14% Mourvèdre, 11% Primitivo, 11% Cinsaut, 10% Grenache Noir, 3% Viognier and 2% Nero d’Avola.
