Shiraz & Rhone Varietal based Red Blends

The grapes were de-stemmed, whereafter berry sorting to remove any unwanted berries and cold maceration took place for two days. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks for seven days with regular pump-overs. The wine was made in an elegant and complex wooded style and matured in 300-and-500 litre French and American oak barrels for 18 months, where the winemaker selects only the best barrels to create this magnificent blend. These oak barrels were a combination of new and old, with twenty percent of the barrels being new oak. Once bottled, the wine was aged a further 12 to 18 months.

This wine pairs well with flame-grilled rump steak, spicy venison and beef casserole or braaied skilpadjies.
