Delta

Light, ruby-red with a purple hue, lighter on the rim. This has a fresh, fruity, attractive bouquet with raspberry, strawberry and cherry aromas melded with spice and a hint of savoury earth. Light-bodied, aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cherry entwined with cinnamon, clove and subtle earth nuance. The mouthfeel is supple and soft, with tangy balanced acidity that drives a fresh palate. Match with pork chop and glazed ham over the next 3-4 years. Fruit from the Delta vineyard in the Southern Valleys, selected Dijon clones planted in 2022. Cold-soaked for 4 days, fermented warm with selected yeast strains to 12.5% alc.

Vibrant dark ruby appearance with a youthful pink hued rim. Aromas of ripe red berries and purple fruits, plums and dark raspberry. Other aromas include baking spices, clove and vanilla with a sweet oak note. Overall, fruity, fleshy, varietal an inviting. On the palate - very youthful with lots of tension from the tannins, acidity and energy. Chalky tannins, medium+ acidity, plenty of raspberry, plum and cherry flavours then brown spices and toasty oak. Young, well made, fleshy and fruity core, nice structure and length. Can drink from today, but nest from mid 2021 and through 2025.
