Leads off on the nose with striking floral scent reminiscent of violets, dark cherry fruit with a dusting of cinnamon, clove and a splash of vanilla. Thickly textured in the mouth with concentrated black cherry flavour wrapped in velvety tannins and lively, forward acidity on the finish.
Dark ruby, purplish rim. Spicy nose of cinnamon, ripe red fruits, a hint of anise. Soft attack, supple and generous fruit. Velvety middle palate, long finish. Great to drink now and good for 5 to 7 years in the cellar.
Co-fermented with 6% Viognier and aged 18 months in American and French oak (60% new). Floral and cedar scents bolt from the glass. Loads of black fruits, leather, chocolate and white-pepper flavour. Plush tannins. Finishes with violets, spice and smoky oak. Suited for full-on BBQ treatment.
This watermelon coloured blend of Pinot Noir (53%), Pinot Meunier (25%), Gamay (12%) and Pinot Gris (10%) delivers a mouth-watering, off-dry style. Gushes with red berry aromas and flavours, speckled with spice notes. The light tannins on the finish add complexity. Stands up to spicy dishes.
The Ancestral is one of the first wines to disappear off the shelves at Hinterland. Pure fruit on the nose — red berries and red currants and strawberries and rhubarb, oh my, what a fun sparkling wine on the nose and on the palate. Yes, it’s sweet, but it’s a balanced attack of sweetness. I dare you to put your glass down after one sip.
Very dark ruby. Notes of ink hit your nose first, followed by kirsch and jam. Concentrated, ripe flavour, the finely grained tannins give a smooth texture on the palate. Finish is very tight and long.
Purplish. Charming nose of red fruits, hints of soft spices. Vibrant fruity taste, mellow mouthfeel, very soft tannins. Uncomplicated and easy to drink.
