Description
Bursting with vibrant aromas, this wine offers an inviting mix of dark fruits, including black currant and blackberry, delicately enhanced by hints of vanilla and a touch of cinnamon spice. On the palate, layers of ripe dark fruit intertwine seamlessly with oak-spice nuances, creating a harmonious and flavorful experience. A well-structured tannin profile adds depth and elegance, leading to a smooth, lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression of richness and balance.
Grapes originate from the Swartland and Perdeberg areas. Grapes were picked at 24,5 degrees Balling, then sorted, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts accompanied by pumpovers and punch-downs between 23°C - 26 °C to ensure optimal color and flavor extraction.
