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.

Was referred to Rainbow Nations Wine from a friend. Glad they did! Great and informative selection. Even though I ordered close to Christmas the delivery was exceptional. Would recommend and refer.

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.
