Product Description:
2021 is a classic vintage. This wine is clearly one of the best Savage Reds we have made to date. Plums, lavender, cola, violets and the characteristic white pepper. The palate is concentrated, the tannic structure is classic.

Grape varieties Shiraz / Syrah 100%
Tasting notes Full-bodied & powerful, Mature & complex, Strong tannins, Aged in wooden barrels
Vinification The grapes originate from Langverwagt Farm in Kuils River on the outskirts of Stellenbosch. Decomposed granite soils overlooking Table Bay and False Bay, a perfect home for maritime Stellenbosch Syrah. Three parcels of vines, trellised and managed as a vertical shoot positioning system. The soils are lean, the vigour low and the grapes are scarce – a perfect recipe for a classically styled Syrah. All fruit is bunch sorted as whole bunches before spontaneous fermentation in conical foudres and open-top fermenters. 30% of the fruit is fermented underwater with regular aeration, the rest as a normal fermentation with 2-4 aerated pump-overs per day. After a 2-3 week extended maceration, the wine is pressed in the basket press and matured in old 500L barrels for 13 months. The wine then spends another 10 months in foudre before bottling.
