A Passion For Wine...
Why Be Passionate About Fruit Wines? People who spend a lot of time describing wine, toss around words like “fruit-forward, massive fruit, fruit-driven”. This fruity terminology is often used when describing grape wines that are fresh and lively and of course, tasting like fruit! Let it be said that fruit wines are just that, they are lively and fruity and fresh and yes, they are made from fruit! Fruit wines also have a serious side, where they are deep and rich and luxuriously full.
Our repertoire of wines cover both the light and fruity tastes and the deep and luxuriously full bodied wines.
We use classical wine making traditions and local fruit . We love tradition as much as experimentation, so come and taste what we are doing. Drink to the pure expressions of the fruit!
