Tasting notes
Refined, ready-to-drink fruity red wine of exceptional class. Light intense pomegranate colour with ruby shine and fine tears. Catchy fresh fruity nose full of small red berries, with an exotic cheeky wink of oriental spices, while respecting the authentic grape flavour. Super juicy refined texture with very ripe fruity acids and velvet tannins, and barely noticeable light alcohol; long velvet finish full of small berries. Delicious glass of wine for cocktail parties – preferably lightly cooled – and summer garden parties. Also delicious with a salad of fruit vegetables with an exotic vinaigrette and fresh white cheese. Serving temperature: 14°C
Wine Story
Naudé Wines is the culmination of a journey that began more than 30 years ago. Since that first harvest, I’ve worked all over the world, hoping to craft wines that tell a story of time and place.
I love the diversity we have in South Africa. Not just of the people, but the soils, the microclimates, and the wine varietals that thrive under their own unique conditions. I’m fortunate to have been introduced to a few of these vineyards, and work with some of the wonderful grapes that they produce, many of these from certified old vines.
The grapes on these vines are storied, complex and unique. Each year they represent something different – whatever nature allows them – and with any luck, I don’t get in the way.
