Beautiful dark berry fruit on both the nose and palate rounded with hints of spice.
Varieties
Syrah 57%, Grenache Noir 27%, Cinsault 9%, Tinta Barocca 7%
Vineyard Notes
From sustainably farmed vineyard parcels in different parts of the Swartland, aged 7-48 years: Two parcels of Syrah and one parcel of Cinsault and Grenache from the stony Shale and Schist based soils ofn
Roundstone Farm on the Kasteelberg; and one parcel of dry land, bushvine Syrah,
and Tinta Barocca planeted in the decomposed Granite of the Paardeberg.
Production Notes
Chilled grapes are destemmed to tank and around 60% whole bunches are added. The must was initially pigeaged once a day and after indigenous yeast fermentation began, the wine was pigeaged twice a day. Temperatures were not allowed to exceed 28C and the total maceration lasted just under 4 weeks. The wine was then drained and pressed to barrel for malolactic fermentation. The different parcels were racked in Spring to blend the wine, which was then returned to barrel.
Maturation
11 months in 3rd and 4th fill French oak 225L barrels & 500L demi-muids.
Tasting Notes
The wine brims with beautiful dark berry fruit on both the nose and palate. This Swartland medley shows great balance, rounded with hints of holiday spice on the finish. Each variety in the blend adds depth to the wine: the Cinsault brings perfume, Tinta Barocca brings tannin, the Grenache brings fruit character, and the Syrah ties it all together.
