PROFILE
The Cape to Cape -white label- wines are approachable, fruit driven wines made for enjoying now and over the short term. The 2016 season was a little warmer than 2015 and, combined with the usual cool overnight temperatures, this ensured great flavour development in all the parcels of fruit that make up this blend. Most of the fruit is from their vineyards in Mt Barker, with a smaller portion from the ever reliable Frankland River region.

TASTING NOTES
A deep, dark crimsony red that's beautifully scented with loads of fragrant, spicy ripe berry fruits and a hint of sweet capsicum. The palate has lovely sweet plum fruit flavours along with some delicious mulberry fruit characters. The wine is well structured with these generous fruit flavours complemented by the chewy, lightly drying tannins picked up from the skin contact during fermentation.
