Certified organic, the 2022 vintage (4.5*) was estate-grown and hand-harvested in the Last Chance (70 per cent) and Red Bank (30 per cent) vineyards, both at Earnscleugh, near Alexandra, and handled in a 2:1 mix of tanks and French oak. Full, bright pink, it is a very youthful, easy-drinking wine, with gentle red berry and plum flavours, balanced acidity, and excellent delicacy, liveliness and immediacy of appeal. Made in a dry style (2-3 grams/litre of residual sugar), it should be at its best for drinking mid-2023+.
