WINEMAKING Fleur du Cap Laszlo 2019 is a rich, powerful blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Malbec, 18% Petit Verdot, 7% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Each vineyard block was harvested after numerous visits to taste the grapes and evaluate the degree of ripeness. Once the grapes were deemed to have optimum flavours and deep colour intensity in balance with the sugar and acidity, the grapes were handpicked and carefully transported to the cellar. The berries were destemmed and gently crushed. The must was fermented on the skins for 10 days, reaching a maximum temperature of 28˚C. The ferments were pumped over three times a day. After fermentation, the wine was pressed gently. The different varietal components were put into a combination of 1st and 2nd fill French oak barrels where the wine underwent natural malolactic fermentation. The wine was subsequently racked and matured in the same barrels for 24 months. After extensive barrel selection and blending trials, the final blend was selected. Prior to bottling the wine received a gentle fining and after settling the wine was bottled without filtration.

WINEMAKER COMMENTS Fleur du Cap Laszlo 2019, our Flagship Bordeaux-style red blend, is a rich, full-bodied wine. It shows intense aromas of cherry and red plums with hints of pencil shavings that develop into tobacco notes. The lush but firm tannins with ripe fruit flavours follow through onto the palate. Although the wine is very rich and appealing, it has wonderful length and ageing potential. ANALYSIS Alcohol 14.7 vol % Residual Sugar 2.0 g/l Total Acidity 5.9 g/l pH 3.64
