Wine Description:
Punica Montessu is a premium red wine produced by the renowned winery, Punica, located in the Sardinia region of Italy. The wine is made from a blend of local grape varieties, including Carignano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc, grown in the vineyards surrounding the winery. The vineyards are characterized by their unique terroir, with soils rich in limestone and clay, and a Mediterranean climate that provides ideal growing conditions for the grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a full-bodied wine with rich flavors of dark fruit, spices, and a hint of minerality.

Intellego Kedungu is produced in the Swartland in South Africa from dry farmed bush vines. The aim at Intellego is to produce wines that express the terroir by adopting a minimal intervention approach during the winemaking process to allow the hard work done in the vineyard to come to the fore. Whole bunch fermented under semi-carbonic conditions for 8 days in stainless steel tanks. The wines are then aged in a mixture of different size old barrels which help preserve these vibrant flavours without having a strong influence from the oak producing a complex, spicy and savory wine.
