Expressive, fairtrade, savoury.

This fairtrade red is named six hats for Citrusdal Wines' belief that terroir is more than just soil and climate, but people too. The six hats stand for sustainability (at the core) but also partnership, change, dignity, potential and equity - the focus of fairtrade products.
It presents aromas of wild brown forest berries, iodine, tealeaf and fleur de sel with smoked meat and toasted spices. Excellent fruit expression impresses on the palate - oodles of fruit roll across the tongue. Substantial, savoury and salty with a lengthy and balanced finish.
Pair: game meats, roasted eggplants, portobello mushroom burgers or pretty much anything beefy and grilled.

It leads with Maraschino cherries and pepper then rolls into roasted baking spice atop savoury, meaty aromas. The palate is savoury and spicy; a mix of red and black fruit is rounded out with peppery spices, bittersweet cocoa and roasted coffee flavours. Fresh and fairly smooth and good with game meats or pretty much anything beefy and grilled.
