Tasting Notes:

The wine has a beautiful dark, rich colour. An exceptionally complex wine with dark fruit and cloves on the nose. Full bodied, succulent and approachable. Tannins elegantly integrated.

All varieties of the blend were picked at optimal ripeness. Each component was harvested separately.

The components of the blend were seperately vinified and then completed malolactic fermentation. Barrel selection for the blend only occured after the 24 month ageing process in French oak - 33% new wood.

Geissorhiza radians (Wine cup)

Geissorhiza is a large genus, 84 species, of small to medium corm bearing plants in the Iridaceae family found in the winter rainfall region of the south and west coasts of southern Africa. Many of them make very handsome container plants and benefit from extra water during growth. Geissorhiza radians is one of the most sought after. It grows to 15cm tall & has very attractive deep blue flowers with red centres, in spring.

The Wine cup is our core flower representing the core-wine of our range The Affinity Blend. The Affinity is a very bold and complex wine much like the Wine Cup, which too is bold and complex.
