Enticing and emotive. This modern and elegant Stellenbosch Sangiovese presents a tantalizing nose and complex mouthfeel. Initial signature red sour cherry flavors develop into riper darker fruit notes. Complex earthy, leathery, and cinnamon notes combine with savory spices to enhance the sweet and sour profile of Sangiovese. A silky, well balanced wine to treasure and enjoy.
The grapes were cold soaked for 4 days prior to fermentation. During fermentation, the temperatures were kept at between 22-28°C. Malo-lactic took place in tank, on French oak staves before being matured in 80/20 % French and American 225l oak barrels for 12-14 months.
