Darling Cellars Sweet Darling Red NV

A complex wine with a combination of red fruit and black berry fruits on both the bouquet and palate.

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Petit Verdot

The rich sweetness on the palate makes this a wine that can be enjoyed at any time and occasion.

The recent demarcation of the Darling district has led to a focus at Darling Cellars on wines which are terroir and varietal specific. The cool and temperate West Coast climate lends itself to a different micro- and mesoclimate which, along with the different types of soil, lead to unique grapes, which we guide into even more unique wines. Having 99% of all vineyards dry land and almost the same percentage as bush vine, this is as close to what nature intended for grapes to be as one can get.

A contemporary new style with ravishing low-alcohol appeal.
