Description
Crafted in Stellenbosch, The Tin Mine Red Blend 2022 is a bold yet refined expression of Zevenwacht’s winemaking. The nose is layered with blackberry, cranberry, and dark cherry, complemented by savory herbs and a hint of peppery spice.
On the palate, generous dark fruit is balanced by fine tannins and elegant oak integration, offering structure, depth, and a long, polished finish.

Each cultivar was harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented separately stainless-steel fermentation vessels. A 20% portion of Shiraz was fermented with 30% whole bunches to add spice and perfume. After fermentation, the wine was pressed and racked to 500L French oak barrels with 20% new oak. The different components were aged for 12 months before blending.
