A layered and complex nose with aromas of kiwi fruit, ginger, apple skin and yellow flowers. The palate is tight and rounded with a honeyed texture and a long, almost saline finish.
The grapes were whole bunch pressed in an old Vaslin press, which ensures an oxidative pressing and yields a very clear juice. The juice was left to settle overnight then racked off the heavy solids and transferred to old French oak barrels ranging in size from 225 litres to 600 litres. Fermentation occurred naturally in barrel and the wines were then allowed to undergo spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Sulphur dioxide was first added in August following the vintage when the wines had had time to settle. The Rocking Horse spent approximately 10 months on its fine lees after fermentation, prior to blending and bottling.
Fabulous wines, great prices, 2 day delivery door to door . Never fails to satisfy.

Placed our first order with Rainbow Nation Wines earlier this week, and have to say I am super impressed with the process. Quite a big order with some single and double selections as well as a couple of cases. Smaller order arrived after 2 days via An Post, and the larger order of the cases is out for delivery today with DPD.

Amazing selection of wines. I have ordered from them twice now and the wine arrived before the estimated delivery day, and very well packaged. And I should mention the great pricing for premium wines.
