Beau Constantia Stella Syrah 2020
R397.00
(R2,381.00 for 6 x 750ml)
The STELLA is made with the absolute intention to preserve the site that grew the fruit. The bunches were hand-picked from a small parcel of our lower lying slopes where Syrah and Viognier grow side by side. Picked with the spicy Syrah, the Viognier is golden and slightly raisined by the extended hang-time, almost honey-like. They are bunch-sorted in the block and again in the cellar as they make their way to the tank.
They are bunch-sorted in the block and again in the cellar as they made their way to the tank 52.2% whole bunch. Natural fermentation started 4 days after a cold-soak and grapes remained on their skins and stems for 5 days post fermentation. They were then pressed for 225L French oak barriques of which 25% were new and the remainder 5 to 6 years old. Stella was allowed to mature on the less for 18 months prior to bottling.
