2021 Oldenburg - CL Red - Stellenbosch - 12 Bottle (0.75L)

54% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon & 7% Cabernet Franc The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes were harvested from a North-Easterly facing vineyard on Rondekop. All grapes were stored in a cold-room overnight and then destemmed and sorted by hand, spending five days in a tank to cold soak. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc berries were crushed and the Merlot berries kept whole. All grape cultivars underwent pump overs 1-3 times per day and were gently basket pressed once dry. Finally, the juice was returned to tanks for malolactic fermentation and then transferred to French oak barrels, of which 26% were new barrels, to mature for 16 months. This wine displays a gorgeous dark purple core in the glass. An inviting nose of turned earth, black plums, maraschino cherries, rosemary and fennel. The palate is refreshing, with a balanced acidity and plushy tannins. Flavours abound with vibrant dark chocolate and mocha in addition to rhubarb and star anis. The wine is complex and inviting with a bitter grapefruit and tobacco finish. A delightful wine that is bound to be a conversation starter and should be a staple on all dinner tables.
