This wine shows layers of minerality and tropical fruits on the nose. A bouquet of green fig and asparagus, leads to a delightful tropical fruit palate of melon and passionfruit. These flavours are supported by a vibrant acidity that keeps the palate fresh.

Wine Information
Accolades
Brand Group	Reserve Range
Other	The Darling Cellars Reserve range showcases single-varietal wines with a focus on fruit- driven profiles that remain true to both varietal character and wine of origin: Darling. Sourced from dryland-farmed vineyards, these wines reflect the unique climate and terroir of Darling, where vines thrive in their natural state - unirrigated, bush vines with lower yields and intensely concentrated fruit. This approach ensures wines of depth, structure, and authenticity, offering a genuine taste of the land.
