Description
Bink Wines Little Red 2021
Bink Wines Little Red is a super easygoing and totally smash-able wine. Bright on the nose, pretty and a lot of sunshine in a glass. Fresh palate of blueberries with hints of pear and granny smith apple.
60% Muscat, 30% Riesling and 10% Alicante Bouschet.
Vinification of all varieties is done separately. Destemming of the Muscat and Riesling before a quick soak in stainless steel tanks. The Alicante Bouschet has 50/50 destemmed/whole-bunch fermentation also in stainless steel, bled off what was to become the Meisje after just three days.
AWARDS & ACCOLADES

"A quixotic mix of muscat, riesling and alicante bouchet. Blended to this style. Little red indeed.Light, fresh aromatic reddish wine. Sour scents and flavours, soupy, silck texture with floral notes and bubblegummy flavour and texture to finish. It’s got some nice, perky fruit character, a good deal of lift but that cloying texture through front and mid palate weighs down the frisky finish. Decent, little wine." - Mike Bennie
