About this Item
“Keep up the standard and improve the product. Learn from the past and from those who walked the path before you and those who are walking it at present. There’s just so much to learn.” - David Nieuwoudt
100% Shiraz
Picked early mornings, 20% whole bunch and the rest destemmed and whole-berry sorted followed by two days of cold soaking. During fermentation, two punch-downs a day of the grape cap, with gentle pump-overs every eight hours for extraction. Extended maceration for an additional 13 days before a light pressing. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new tight grain 225 litre French oak medium toast barrels. Barrel maturation of 15 months. A premium selection of only three barrels is made.
Tasting Notes: This Shiraz reveals intense layers of mixed forest berries accompanied by sweet spice and violets on the nose. A richly textured palate with a complex, velvety tannin structure on the finish.
Drink this wine from 2025 onwards.
