An immediate hit, this unoaked GSM blend just oozes personality with aromas of tarragon, mint, redcurrants, celery salt and other spices. It is on the lighter side of medium bodied with red berries and sour cherry flavours, a lively acidity and great depth. It is this fresh natural acidity that Richard was searching for when sourcing grapes from areas that are warm but which have coolish nights. Grapes came from southern slopes in Wellington, some newer areas of Swartland with a tad from southern Stellenbosch. The final blend is composed of 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre and 20% Syrah.
