La Vierge Wines
The heart of our conviction is simple yet deliberate. Trust the Site. 20 years ago, Peter Clarke founded the farm up in the cool heights of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Here, in a natural and beautiful ampitheatre, he chose the purity of planting dryland vineyards on virgin soils. Each block is exposed to unique aspects of soil and climate, rewarding us with layered and complex fruit that provides the foundation for our wines that are unveiled in our cellar to reveal their full expression of terroir and vintage.
Description
This wine shows the bright cherry fruit and savoury spice character typical of Sangiovese. The palate is smooth, with hints of floral notes and an almost dusty finish
Food Pairing
Ideal for pairing with classic Italian dishes like baked aubergine, tomato based pasta and cured meats.
