About this product


The fruit for this wine is sourced from our original block of bush vines, planted in 1974 at the western edge of the Wallcliffe Vineyard, together with a small parcel planted by ourfounders close by. Trellising is a hybrid bush vine with training wires and all operations are conducted manually throughout the season as this fussy variety requires enormous care, although it remains one of the team’s favourite ‘unruly children’. The aromatics are dark and brooding with Christmas spices of cinnamon and nutmeg,
lifted fresh red roses and potpourri. Hints of candied ginger, marmalade and poached plum overlay the Christmas pudding complexity of liquorice, brandy soaked raisins and rhubarb.
