Stellenbosch, South Africa
Handpicking into 20 kg crates. Destemming and gentle crushing directly into small 2 ton open top fermentation tanks with 10% whole bunches. Spontaneous natural yeast fermentation @ max. 30°C with the cap of skins punched down manually 1 - 4 times a day for 14 days. Wine drained directly to barrels together with single pressing from traditional basket press. Malolactic fermentation in the barrel. 40% new fine grained, slow toasted small French oak was used in the first year and no new oak in the second year. Time in barrel 21 months with only 2 gentle rackings. This wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered by hand. Bottling date: 6/1/2017
Deep, dense colour. Brooding dark berry fruit with dusty fynbos, violets and white pepper nose. The palate is also rather closed and needs time to evolve with concentrated, complex fruit hidden behind plenty of fine-grained tannins.
