Description
WINE OF ORIGIN: WALKER BAY
Winemaker’s Notes:
The vines were managed with great care to aid even ripening and complexity. The grapes were cooled overnight followed by bunch- and berry sorting the next morning. After three days of cold maceration, the juice was allowed to warm up to 16 C. To enhance the intrinsic qualities of Syrah, the must was inoculated with selected yeast strains to accentuate spicy and fruity aromas.
Alcoholic fermentation lasted about eight days during which gentle pump overs encouraged delicate flavour and colour extraction. Pressed off the skins when fermentation was completed, the wine was settled in tank and transferred to the barrels for malolactic fermentation to smooth out its edges.
Oak maturation: 12 Months. Barrel: 100% French.
