MORE INFORMATION:
Translated from Latin ‘gustus’ means ‘taste’ and this is what this wine is all about. Darling Cellars Gustus comes from specific vineyards which are selected for their uniqueness in prominent terroir flavours. 12 hours skin contact. Left on lees for 6 months in Stainless Steel tanks to add complexity and depth. South western facing slopes on deep granite soils are the preferred sites for these vineyards. Bush vines, no irrigation. This wine offers aromas of figs, tropical flavours of pineapple, watermelon on the nose with green undertones and ripe asparagus on the palate

Seafood dishes, creamy chicken dish or a garden salad in early summer
