A true celebration of nature
Natural Sweet Red
Eleven Buddies is a wine born from the shared dreams and deep friendship of eleven close-knit friends, who spent years crafting a drink that reflects their love for each other ,Soccer and the land. Each bottle embodies the spirit of resilience, celebration, and the magic of moments shared with good company.
The Vineyards:
Combinations of trellised and bush vines were used from a selection of regions in the Western Cape. The weather during the ripening season was sunny and dry while the Atlantic Ocean had a cooling effect. The difference in region, age, soil and harvest date for the grapes produces a fruity yet complex wine.
The Winemaking:
The grapes were harvested ripe and fermented cool to retain a soft fruit character. Pressed before dryness to retain soft tannins and natural fresh fruit flavours.
Winemaker's Comments:
This is an easy drinking, sweet red blend with delicious berry flavours and a lingering, spicy oak finish. Ideal for evenings at home or out-and-about with friends.
