THE EMPEROR PROBUS, 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. The Roman Emperor Probus was responsible for taking this cultivar up the Rhone in the year 281AD where it eventually found its spiritual home of today in the Rhone Appellation of Condrieu. This wine pays hommage to Probus. Intensely aromatic Hints of orange blossom, ginger snap, peach and lime marmarlade, followed by a lush and opulent pallet of honey-suckle, melon and apricot Deliciously round and soft with a long lingering finish
