(R1,426.00 for 6 x 750ml)
A sophisticated wine revealing complex layers of cassis, dark fruit, hints of leather, tobacco and spice. Well structured, fine velvet tannins and lingering aftertaste.
Pair with rich beef, lamb, venison stew. Grilled leg of lamb stuffed with wild garlic and rosemary.
The vineyard is located 150m above sea level on a north-west facing slope in the Bottelary Hills of Stellenbosch. Gravel soil offers less vigorous growth which, together with sufficient heat due to the slope and altitude, leads to ideal ripening conditions for fully ripened grapes.
Fermentation took place over 7 days on the skins in closed tanks at 20 – 25 0C, pump over every two hours, pressed with pneumatic press. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurred.
Barrel profile: Specially selected barrels. Wine was aged 18 months in 300L and 225L
French oak barrels, 3nd and 4rd fill.
Training method: 5-wire vertical trellis
Harvest date: 10 March 2017. Harvested by hand.
Yield: 5.49 tonnes/ha and 32 hl/ha
