On the palate
Pale straw colour in the glass. A complex palate with gentle oaking, fresh citrus, lemon meringue and hints of honey leading to a long/lingering/smooth finish. All in all a web of flavour. The Upside Down pig is all about finding a unique perspective. You see, Chenin Blanc in South Africa is like mud in a pig sty. It's everywhere. And while most are brilliant, they really do come in all shapes and sizes. Fat ones, thin ones, sweet ones, grim ones. So we've made sure that ours offers a different perspective of the grape. Tight, focused, minerally delicious, you won't find any flab (or any flies) in the Piggy Chenin.
The upside down Pig is one of the classic Spider-man poses. We saw it as for the consumer to look at the world of wine from a different perspective. And sometimes it means turning it on its head. We have now called the wine 'KING NEPTUNE'. Why? Well our back label says not all Superheros are Human, and this is an actual Pig who raised $19million in Warbonds from 1942 to 1950 (equivalent to $200million in 2007) Find a cow or chicken who did that? Say no to chicken or beef. FYI - King Neptunes brissles (beard) was onced actioned for $500!
