Product Information
Winemaker’s notes:
The grapes was harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The Elgin and Simonsberg component are vinified separately. Pumpovers was done 3 times a day so ensure color
and tannin extraction. The wine spent 16 month in French oak
barrels for maturation and was bottled under stelvin and
cork closure.
Tasting notes:
The Shiraz grapes from Simonsberg-Paarl showcases violet and plums, whilst the Elgin grapes brings in a darker character with spicy notes and black pepper. Smooth tannins on the palate confirms the promise of this elegant wine. Velvet textured layers follows through to a juicy mouth-feel.
