Overview
A distinctly mineral quality pervades through the palate and creates lift and freshness in the flavours and a subtle, full and crescendo finish
TASTING NOTES
The vibrant and immensely lively purple hue of this wine shines out of the glass. Its intricate spice, licorice and wild bush –‘fynbos’- aromas grab your curiosity, whilst preparing the senses for a highly individual and aromatic palate. A vinous and wonderfully charged mouthfeel combines with an array of lavender, spices, strawberries and even blueberries. A distinctly mineral quality pervades through the palate and creates lift and freshness in the flavours and a subtle, full and crescendo finish. A highly individual, enigmatic wine; a true blend. As refreshing by its palate as it is by its approach.
DESCRIPTION
Fermentation: Co-fermentation. Barrel maturation lasted 18 months with most of the barrels ranging from 2nd to 6th fill. The wine matured on its primary lees for the duration of its time in barrel in order to build the complexity of the palate while practically eliminating the need for sulphur additions. As with all our red wines, this was not fined or filtered prior to bottling.
INFORMATION DETAILS
ABV: 13%
Grape: Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvedre, Carignan, Grenache
