THE DALMATIAN, 750ML IN SOUTH AFRICA

With grapes sourced from two farms, one in the Helderberg and the other in Elgin, Hilton Vineyards pride themselves on collecting the finest fruit from three different blocks of their suppliers’ best sites. Crushed at the Welgevallen Winery in Stellenbosch, the wines produced focus on high quality, careful crafting and distinct flavours. This wine is called The Dalmatian on account of the minimal portions of the Viognier cultivar used in the blend, either co-fermented, or in topping barrels, depending on the vintage, as the Viognier grape is reported as having its origins from the Dalmatian coast (in current day Croatia). Delicate hints of violets and dark black forest fruits on the nose Luscious, rich, ripe and round palate of layered Christmas pudding flavours, tightly packed, with soft tannins, and an elegant finish
