Description
The wine
Solstice is a playful early-release red of Pinot Noir (25%), Dornfelder, Syrah and Baco Noir (20% each) and Tempranillo (15%). The fruit comes from the North West, Coal River and Derwent valleys and is picked early. The grapes are added to the ferment in stages, including whole-bunch Pinot for a carbonic lift, with the Dornfelder going in at the press. It is bottled unfined, unfiltered and with no added sulphur.
Tasting notes
Light, juicy and full of red fruit, with a bright, crunchy freshness. Made for drinking young.
How to enjoy
Serve chilled, at 10–12°C. Put it out with Perello Olive & Pickle Cocktail Mix, L'Artisan Marcel or Taleggio DOP.
