Malgas, South Africa

Winemaking and Maturation

Handpicked and carefully sorted in small crates in the cool mornings. Destemmed and gently crushed into small open top tanks and oak vats with a small portion whole bunch. Natural yeast fermentation at max. temp. 29°C. Time on the skins about 9-12 days, with the cap of skins punched down (pigeage) 2 to 3 times a day. Single pressing in a traditional basket press and malolactic fermentation in barrels. Mostly 225ℓ French oak barrels in the first year and mostly 700ℓ in the second year of maturation. 20% new for 22 months. (We feel this better respects the complexity of the fruit, while softening the wine sufficiently). The wine was bottled by hand, unfined and unfiltered.

Tasting Notes

"A vibrant deep red colour. The Tinta Amarella’s red fruit character is beautifully intertwined with the Syrah and Touriga Nacional’s typical savoury and wild profile. Sage, lavender, thyme and rosemary on the nose.

It is inky and wild but has a beautiful freshness, and concentration of cassis, blueberry fruit on the mid palate. Stony character and minerality lingers long after the first sip.

It is elegantly powerful with a youthful freshness, yet a deep concentration, and a firm structured tannin profile, making sure this wine will last for many years. Hints of Blueberry cheesecake, a smooth and creamy texture on the palate." - Sijnn
