Fruit Wines, Flavored Wines, and Other Wine Types

This wine consists of only one cultivar, Shiraz. The grapes were handpicked and grapes were selected out of our best block of Shiraz. The grapes came in at 24.8 Balling, were destemmed and cold maturation lasted 48 hours. After cold maturation the pulp was inoculated with a yeast strain and fermentation took place for a period of 16 days at a temperature of 25-26C. In this 16 day period regular (4 times per day) pump overs were exercised. The juice was pressed when the fermentation finished witch paved the road for Malolactic fermentation to start and finish in 18 days. The wine matured in 100% French oak barrels for a period of 24 months. After maturation the wine was prepared for bottling.

This deep ruby colour wine gives you ripe blackcurrant aromas, complimented with soft raspberry, caramel and vanilla flavours. A well structure wine with ripe, soft tannins and a long finish. Maturation potential 5-10 years. Enjoy with red meat or creamy pastas
