ORIGIN
The grapes that this wine is produced from come from a single block of 10 year old bush vines on Hoopenburg.
VINIFICATIONThe grapes were picked at a ripe 25 ° Balling late February. They were fermented on the skins totaling 3 weeks. The grapes were then pressed off, with the wine going into French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation to occur. Here the wine was aged for 24 months in 2nd and 3rd fill barrels. The wine was then lightly filtered and bottled.
WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTEA well structured wine in which delicate spice mingles seamlessly with fresh aromas of dark fruit.
