Product information "Asara Cape Fusion 2016"
The Asara Cape Fusion pampers the nose with a luxurious abundance of dark berry fruit, mocha and fine spices. Lush nuances of ripe blackberries, dark chocolate and fragrant violets unfold even in the long and soft finish and ensure absolute pleasure. A fine sweetish aftertaste from the Malbec rounds off this pleasurable wine in a very special way.

The grapes were harvested in the early morning hours and cooled down to 5°C overnight. The next morning the grapes were destemmed and fermented as a whole berry. After a short fermentation phase, the wine was transferred to French wooden vats where it spent 4-5 months. Malolactic fermentation was allowed to transfer a creamier texture to the wine. The wines then matured separately in older or previously occupied 225 l French oak barrels. Pinotage, Malbec and Shiraz were blended and the cuveé then matured for another 6 months in older barriques.
