‘W.O. Darling. 90% whole-bunch. Matured six months. Raspberry, strawberry plus hints of herbs and white pepper on the nose. Light bodied but not too skeletal or short on flavour – alcohol is 12%. Nice interplay between fruit, bright acidity and powdery tannins.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100

| Producer information | Namibian born winemaker and viticulturist, Lucinda Heyns, started making wines under the Illimis label in 2015. She studied viticulture in South Africa and gained experience in South Africa, California and Italy. Lucinda’s winemaking philosophy is clear, she believes that wines should be crafted to reflect their origin and should harness what nature provides. She therefore follows a minimal intervention approach and allows each wine to reflect its unique vintage. |
