Tasting Notes

Light pomegranate in colour, this is what summer drinking is all about. Loads of ripe strawberries, sweet cherry and raspberries on the nose with a lingering fruity aftertaste. Truly a wine for all occasions. A great wine to enjoy and flirt over.



Blend Information

96% Sauvignon Blanc, 4% Grenache

Food Suggestions

Will pair well with roasted chicken, a salmon salad, Italian food with a red sauce or stuffed mushrooms.

In The Vineyard

Vineyards from different slopes and different soils were used for this blend. The cool nights and cool South-westerly wind in the afternoons cooled the vineyards down and helped to form the elegant fruit flavours. Soil types consisted of weathered granite to deep red and well-drained soils.
Vineyard type: Bush Vine, no irrigation

In The Cellar

Destalk and crush, 18 days fermentation at 14°C. Grapes and juice handled reductively to prevent oxidation and lock in fruitiness. Maturation: Left on lees for 2 months to add complexity.

Additional Information

Darling Cellars Reserve is a wine range of straight varietals where the focus is on fruit driven, varietal true, value for money wines. The grapes were harvested from dryland farmed vineyards in Darling, where the vines are not trellised and planted as bush vines. The Pyjama bush is a pink wild flower that grows in the Darling area.
