Product information "Benguela Cove Vinography Syrah 2019"
The Benguela Cove Vinography Syrah caresses the nose with a classic bouquet of walberry aromas, violets and white pepper, as well as hints of subtle smokiness and herbaceous fynbos in the background. Grainy tannins add to the stunning freshness of this high-dollar "cool climate" Syrah, superbly accentuating the powerful nuances of ripe blueberries and notes of leather, and providing a lingering and delicious finish.

The Syrah grapes were cooled overnight and the next morning were selected and sorted by hand with great care berry by berry. After a three-day cold swelling phase, the temperature of the juice was allowed to rise to 16 °C at room temperature. To optimize the distinctive characteristics of the Syrah grape, 30 of the grapes were fermented whole bunch and selected yeast cultures were added to the mash to bring out the classic spicy and fruity aromas of the grape variety. During alcoholic fermentation, the mash was gently pumped over periodically to extract maximum flavor nuance and color. Once fermentation was complete, the juice was pressed and then underwent malolactic fermentation in wooden barrels. The wine was then aged for 18 months in older French oak barrels. The total production of this award-winning Syrah is a limited quantity of 660 bottles.
