Estate Malbec 2024
R165
BLEND
100% Malbec
TASTING NOTES
A deep bouquet of black cherry, black plum, mulberry and hint of salted caramel. Full bodied wine with a flavour profile of black plum, cassis and cedar rounded off with silky tannins and a savoury finish.
FOOD PAIRING
A delicious all-rounder that will partner well with red and white meat dishes such as garlic and rosemary roast chicken and Beef Wellington. Also pairs well with vegetarian moussaka or spicy vegetable curry or even soft, pungent cheeses like blue cheese or gorgonzola.
WINEMAKING & MATURATION
The grapes were harvested at 24.1˚ Balling during early to mid-March. After being destemmed and crushed, the mash was inoculated with a selected pure yeast strain for fermentation. Fermentation started in rotation tanks between 27˚C to 29˚C. The must remained on the skins for approximately 7 to 10 days during fermentation, after which the wine was drained, and the skins were pressed. It was then transferred directly into barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation, before wine was gently racked and returned for further ageing. The wine matured in barrel for 12 to 14 months in 300L French oak barrels.
