Product information "Asara Cape Fusion Red 2017"
The Asara Cape Fusion pampers the nose with a luxurious abundance of raspberry, mocha and berry aromas. Ripe red berry fruit also unfolds in the long and soft finish and provides 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 matured afterwards still further 6 months in older Barriques.
