Product Description:
Attractive deep red color. On the nose, wonderful spices, plums and other beguiling dark fruits. Hints of fynbos (herbal) notes and a complementary oak component. These aromas continue on the palate. Generous complex fruit, firm, fine tannins and acidity are well-balanced, providing a soft mouthfeel and a long-lasting aftertaste.

Vinifikation The grapes were hand-picked and transported to the winery in 20kg stackable bins. Destemming and gentle crushing directly into small 2-tonne open-top fermenters. Spontaneous natural yeast fermentation at a maximum of 30°C with manual punch-downs of the cap. The wine was transferred directly into barrels, along with the single pressing from the traditional basket press. Malolactic fermentation occurred in wooden barrels, 30% of which were new French oak. The Merlot was aged in these for 19 months, including several rackings for gradual clarification of the wine and to aid maturation. The wine was bottled unfiltered and hand-labeled at the estate.
