Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Skurnik Wines has to say about this wine:

51% Syrah, 34% Tinta Barocca, & 15% Cabernet Sauvignon

Sourced from 4 dry farmed bush vine (goblet) parcels in the Swartland, aged 16-40 years

Destemmed to tank and 50% crushed whole clusters of Syrah and Tinta Barocca were added with minimal SO2

Must was initially pigeaged once a day

After about 4 days, fermentation began with indigenous yeasts, and the wine was pigeaged once or twice a day, with temperatures not exceeding 28ºC

Maceration lasted for 4-6 weeks

Pressed to barrel for malolactic fermentation

Matured for 18 months in 3rd and 4th fill French oak 225L & 500L barrels and 5000L foudre before bottling
