Notes – Attractive pastel Saturn peach pink which leads gentle wafts of stone fruit and blood orange on the nose. Zippy acidity from entry is balanced with phenolic grip and the magic of the terracotta amphora broadens on the palate and releases elegant fruitiness which lingers and refreshes. Typically the wine is finished in the glass before it is fully discovered!
The name – “Teku Teku” is a Shona nickname for the African Hoopoe bird depicted on the label.
Pairing – a versatile wine with food but ideal with salmon en croute, white truffle béchamel sauce, watercress salad with lemon Dijon vinegarette and grated parmesan……or simply enjoyed on it’s own!
