Description

Fairview Jakkalsfontein Shiraz

Fairview Jakkalsfontein Shiraz. Intense dark red. Aromas of red currants, black cherries and oak spices on the nose with concentrated dark fruit. Dark fruits, savory spices and velvety tannins.

The grapes were harvested ripe at 25°C. Only the best bunches were selected in the vineyard and transported to the cellar in crates. The grapes were de stemmed and the berries were hand-sorted and transferred to large wooden vats (open fermentors). Punch downs were done 3 times a day, mixing the skins for optimum flavor and color extraction. The wine was basket-pressed and allowed to complete malolactic fermentation in 225l French barrels. The wine was racked and matured in French barrels (40% new oak) for 20 months. The best barrels were selected, blended and bottled.
