TASTING NOTE
This wine showcases a captivating garnet hue, offering a sensory journey rich in fruit aromas, predominantly within the realm of red fruits, complemented by subtle notes of aniseed and cinnamon spices. Upon tasting, its full-bodied presence generously coats the palate, delivering a velvety texture that lingers gracefully. The experience concludes with a lasting impression of fresh raspberry and strawberry flavours, lingering delightfully on the senses.
WINEMAKING
Harvesting occurred at optimal ripeness of 25.4° Balling. Picking was done by hand in the early morning to ensure that the grapes arrived cool at the cellar. Cold soaking was done for 24 hours before inoculation of yeast. Colour and tannin extraction was done by means of pump-overs every 4 hours. Alcoholic fermentation lasted for 6 days and temperatures peaked at 26°C. Grapes were pressed at 4° Balling and press juice blended with the free-run. The wine underwent MLF in 300L French oak barrels of which 20% was new and the rest 2nd and 3rd fill and then matured for 18 months before it was racked, fined and bottled.
VINEYARDS
Grapes were sourced from low yielding trellised (Hutton soils) as well as bush vine vineyards (decomposed granite soils) located in the Swartland. The age of the trellised vineyard is 22 years and that of the bush vine block, 23 years old.
