Once upon a time I worked in an office where the general manager’s wife had an interest in interior design…and so it came to pass that we were the lucky recipients of decor that included office partitions covered in a carpet-like fabric in the colours ‘Dreamtime Hibiscus’ and ‘Vivid Fuchsia’…

Vivid fuchsia in colour. Very lively and aromatic with musk stick, cranberry, crushed red berries and flowers. Smells sweet but the palate is only just off dry with flavours of cranberry, red berry, musk and spice. It is fresh and crisp with a little rasp of tannin like the lick of a kitten’s tongue. Finishes dry with surprising length of flavour. An excellent and highly refreshing Rose of Virginia.
