Clearview Sea Red is a deliciously full bodied sweet wine made from a blend of red grapes and fortified to retain sweetness, raising its alcohol to 17% ABV, producing a big, loveable cuddly sweetie. Ideal for drinking with cheddar cheese on a cold night by a warm fire or anytime you’re looking for a delicious sweetie.
Clearview Estate sprang to life in 1986 when Tim Turvey and business partner Helma van den Bergare purchased the neglected but historic Vidal’s No.2 Vineyard at Te Awanga in coastal Hawke’s Bay. This is their take on fortified dessert reds such as port, displaying a weighty, unctuous palate of dense berry fruits and plums, which finishes dry and long. The wine is blended across vintages and the base variety is Malbec. Drink now for a fruitier style or cellar carefully for several years.
