Closure: Cork

A new release from Water Wheel, made from fruit grown at their Memsie Vineyard. This is a very youthful ‘joosy’ red which is totally fruit driven and made for early consumption. Very deep purple crimson colour, with purple hue. The nose delivers plenty of youthful primary fruit notes with freshly crushed blackberry, blackpepper and fresh liquorice. The palate has that abundant fruit flavour that is the hallmark of reds that are made and sold in the year of vintage. Very pronounced liquorice blackpepper palate. The strong blackpepper quality appears to be a feature of the Memsie Vineyard and was also evident in the new Water Wheel Shiraz. Fine grained tannins are perfectly balanced and are followed by an exceptionally long aftertaste of blackberry, liquorice and blackpepper. The wine comes with a stelvin cap.
