At the Western Cape’s Pinnacle Point, evidence remains in maritime caves of our earliest known ancestors - a primitive culture that combed the beaches and fished in the same rock-pools from whence they came. The aim with Primordial Soup is to introduce South African wine in its most accessible form, red and white familial twins made up of multiple classical cultivars, named without variety. The design inspiration is from the illustration’s of Ernst Haeckel, German naturalist, who identified then drew some of the simplest forms of life on Earth. Bright, youthful aromas of fresh red berries with hints of summer pudding. The palate is fresh and sappy with crushed Morello cherries and a cranberry tang. An approachable, crunchy young red with a touch of spice on the finish.
