Winemaker’s Notes:
(unoaked) Starting with an interesting nose of apple cider and ripe pineapple this wine leads into flavours of dried apricot and late autumn apples. The finish is round and buttery with a hint of toasted almond.

With its enchanting floral and lychee aromas this wine lives up to its spicy reputation. Lychees carry through in the flavours as well as honeysuckle and ripe local peaches. Match with spicy and chicken entrees also pairs well with fresh fruit and cheeses.

Sprucewood Shores’ Lady In Red offers the palette warm oak spices with a finish of blackberry, cherry and plumb flavours. Aged in Hungarian oak barrels for 12 months and blended at the winemaker’s discretion at the end for the perfect balance, this wine is ideally served with a hearty beef or lamb dish. (0)
