Winemaker's Notes
Pale straw in colour with green hues. On the nose, aromas of peach, ripe melon and honeysuckle. A full, soft, stone fruit palate of peaches and nectarines intermingled with rock melon. A creamy texture and lingering lime citrus finish.

Winemaker's Notes
Deep ruby red in colour, blackberry/stewed plum fruit with hints of mocha and lifted vanillin on the nose; a full, soft fleshy palate driven by boysen berry, cassis, cinnamon spice and a touch of white pepper leading to a smooth velvety lingering finish.
