Rush Creek’s winemaker Kim Flintoff seems to have mastered the art of spiced apple wine – everytime I try it I marvel at the complexity of the nose and the flavours within. Made using Paula Red and Ginger Golden with the addition of cinnamon and clove this wine never fails to remind me of cinnamon apple pie filling … in this version the cinnamon seems to almost bite back, simply lovely and perfect for the holiday season ahead.
