Background information

Discovered in 1869, the ‘Star of South Africa’ was the first large diamond find in the country. On hearing of the stone, the Earl of Dudley purchased it, had it mounted on a head ornament with 95 smaller diamonds and gave it to the countess of Dudley – it was hence known as the ‘Dudley Diamond’.

Tasting note

Vibrant and expressive with upfront tropical and gooseberry aromas and hints of green apple and lime. The palate is zesty and refreshing with a lingering finish.

Food match

Delicious served chilled on its own or with barbecued chicken or halloumi skewers.
