ALKOOOMI COLLECTION (formerly known as The BLACK LABEL)
Excellent growing conditions during spring led to healthy canopies and the vineyard up beautifully for the rest of the season. A mild yet very dry ripening season resulted inpristine fruit quality with an abundance of flavour intensity.
Tasting notes:
Brilliant pale straw with emerald flecks. Lifted aromas of pink grapefruit zest, orange
blossom and hints of musk. Racy and steely, yet delicate with flavours of grapefruit
juice and citrus. Taut and linear on the palate with a precise mineral acidity.

“Fine, talcy phenolics and layers of citrus fruit almost obscure the tight coil of acid
that springs from the centre. This has delicacy, poise, and grace – but it's also
powerful, making it an intriguing, beautiful and well-crafted wine. A lot to love right
now or cellar it – it'll go for years and years.”

“Talc and bath salts aromas with a whiff of brown lime and guava. Quite austere and
restrained on the palate; there's a citrus juiciness to the wine, a linear line of acidity
and a little phenolic grip at at the end that firms up the palate.”
