"Night Wines, Light Years Ahead"
Despite having such a low alcohol & lower kilojoule content, this wine is high on aroma & character, highlighting qualities that Nicky Krone aimed at achieving: fruity bouquet, balanced acidity, and an interesting complexity on the palate with a crisp, clean finish.

T.J. Light was the first wine ever to be granted the SA Heart & Stroke Foundation seal of approval (since the early 1980''s) and is enjoyed by both men and women as a wine which can be consumed any day of the week.

Suitable for parties, breakfast parties; light lunches, business lunches, long lunches ... dinners, picnics ... In other words, it is especially suitable for those who have seen the Light and care about their WEIGH of life ...

about the harvest: The grapes used for TJ Light are selected from fragrant early ripening varieties which have low natural acidity. Emphasising the health aspects, the grapes are harvested early in the season when the grape sugars are lower, but still capturing elegant fruit flavours. This results in a light wine low in alcohol and kilojoules. The grapes are hand picked in the cool of the night to further enhance these delicate qualities.
