Description
We’re pumped about these new juicy, minimal-intervention wines from South Africa! Brothers Charlie and Thom Bradley are working with farmers around regions like Stellenbosch and Swartland to create fresh, new-wave styles that are very fun-loving and rather quaffable. One each of these and you’re all set for a party!
With that in mind, we’ve put them all in a pack. A sparkling, an orange, a light red and a slightly fuller one – they offer a natural curation of an evening with pals.
The Wines:
Pot Luck Pet Nat
This is made from South Africa’s classic grape, Pinotage, and here shows a lot more freshness than the variety is typically known for. The grapes are grown at 500ft above sea level lending lovely freshness to this sparkler that also shows bright red berry and a touch of salinity.
White Lies Pinot Gris
A vibrant, clean skin-contact wine, with great aromatics. Lots of floras, pithy grapefruit and peachy tones.
Love Bite
This is a super fun light Cinsault that reminds us of bright Beaujolais. It’s all concentrated red fruits with a bit of soft tannin for structure.
Growing Pains
This is Cinsault from old bush vines in Stellenbosch. Ten months in old oak creates a slightly more refined wine, that still retains all the energy of its compatriots. Here, the fruit profile takes a darker turn, expressing bramble and dark cherry and the texture is nice and supple.
Wines for fun times!
Enjoy.
