Central Otago cherries are one of my favourite fruits and that they’re now being made into wine puts me in my happy place.  It’s no tricked up, sugar-soaked, fortified, fruit wine either – rather it’s incredibly pure, clean and elegantly structured.  The cherry flavours are natural, plus the soft spices, berry notes and fresh acidity make this a gorgeous and rather gluggable new fave.
