Product information "Bellevue Reserve Collection Tumara 2018"
The Bellevue Reserve Collection Tumara is a high-end red wine cuvée in classic Bordeaux style. It ensnares the nose with a wonderful bouquet of fine cedar aromas and fragrant cigar box, and caresses the supple palate with delicious nuances of black blackberries. The ripe fruit flavors are superbly balanced by the wine's fine-grained tannins. The finish is incredibly long-lasting and silky.

The five grape varieties of this high-dose cuvée were hand-picked and seaparate fermented. The juice spent a period of 24 hours on the skins before being spiked with selected yeasts to kick-start fermentation. The fermentation temperature was maintained at a regulated 26- 28˚C, regular pumping over ensured maximum flavour and colour extraction. Once alcoholic fermentation was completed in tank, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation, where the wine was subsequently aged for 24 months (60% new wood, 40% second-fill barrels).
