Grapes were destemmed, crushed and fermented separately in open top stainless tanks. Pump overs and punch downs (Pigeage) were done 3-4 times per day during fermentation to extract flavour, colour and tannins from the berries. Finally, the wine was pressed and matured in barrels for 18 months in medium toasted oak barrels, assisting in taming the tannin.
A great match for any South African inspired braai - Be it with venison from the Karoo or chops from the shops as the structure compliments an array of flavours. Great company to the Fairview blue mould cheese range or warm spicey stew.
Deep ruby colour with and explosive aroma of ripe plums, cassis and warm baking spices. Think cinnamon and cardamom. The palate has layers of dark fruit and liquorice, A full-bodied structure with bold, firm tannins which makes it great inspiration and the kitchen.
Enjoy now or age for 5 -8 years for softer structure.
A unique blend made from the Tempranillo, Tannat and a dropof Petite Sirah (Durif). The Tempranillo and Tannat varietiesare known for their dark fruit flavours and addingstructure to blends from Spain, Portugal and South-West ofFrance.
