SMV 2020

R152.00

Black and white pepper with muted red fruit and allspice on the nose. There is a finely balanced structure and subtle interplay between the acidity and ripe
tannins. Delicate plushness in the long, dry finish with just a hint of oak.

Description

The Shiraz (62%) and Viognier (2%) grapes were co-fermented with 30% whole cluster, carbonic macerated grapes to freshen up and give additional spice and fragrance to the wine. The Mourvèdre (36%) was picked very ripe to allow soft, round tannins to be extracted during fermentation in stainless steel.
After fermentation, the two components were taken to 15% new French Oak barriques for natural malolactic fermentation and maturation, where the wine
spent 24 months before a light filtration and bottling.
