"Lucy was adopted at 7 months of age from the Grassy Park SPCA in Cape Town South Africa, she was a timid little girl, but who wanted to be loved and give love at a time in my life where I desperately needed this. Over the next 10 years she developed an incredible personality and converted many friends who were not fond of dogs to being at least, Lucy lovers. Sadly she developed a brain tumor and trotted off across the rainbow bridge, our hearts breaking." Sharon Lafon.

Presentation
In honor of Lucy and all re-homed dogs, a wine was created to pay tribute to them and the global animal charities. Grassy Park SPCA in Cape Town, who rescued Lucy, and Mutare SPCA in Zimbabwe, who supported the family during their time farming, are the nominated organizations. Despite challenges, they tirelessly protect animals and educate communities. 15 cents from every bottle of Lucy in the Sky wine sold will be donated to these exceptional African charities. Let's raise our glasses to Lucy in the Sky with love and support for these outstanding organizations.
Location
The fruit for this wine was carefully selected from early ripening Grenache Noir and Cinsault vineyard sites that express ripe flavors at lower sugar levels. The fruit is gently handled and fermented at cool temperatures in the winery to ensure the wine has bright aromatics and fresh fruit flavors, without compromising the palate weight, texture and length.
Winemaking
Traditional winemaking process in stainless vessels with careful temperature control to protect the natural fruit flavors, typical of both varieties. Direct pressing and stalk removal at 5°C.

Tasting
Deliciously fresh and thirst-quenching, extremely pale in color with a salmon blush. Pristine aromas of fresh citrus and white pear with a persistent floral lift of jasmine; beautifully textured and very layered, showing rich, ripe flavors of fleshy nectarine and delicate yummy yeasty dough notes.
Food pairings
Enjoy a glass sat out in the sun, with light salads, pasta and rice dishes, especially with seafood, raw and lightly cooked shellfish and grilled fish and goats’ cheeses. Perfect hot weather drinking.
