Description

Fruit for our Early Light range of wines is harvested early to capture optimum flavour ripeness whilst reducing the levels of naturally occurring sugar. This lower level of sugar means less alcohol is converted resulting in a lighter in alcohol style of wine. Showcasing tropical guava and mandarin on the nose with zingy lime citrus on the palate. A refreshingly light yet flavourful sensation at 9.5% alc/vol.

Vineyard
