Product information "Black Elephant Vintners The Back Roads Petite Sirah 2019"
The Black Elephant Vintners The Back Roads Petite Sirah presents itself with a powerful bouquet of black currants, pepper and tobacco leaves. Dense and lush on the palate, it indulges with intense nuances of dark chocolate, dark fruit, crushed pepper and cassis, as well as excellent tannin structure and lively acidity.
The grapes for The Back Roads Petite Sirah were selected from a single vineyard that thrives on the slopes from the mountain "Matoppie" in the Franschhoek Valley on decomposed Table Mountain sandstone. A true rarity!

The hand-picked grapes were fermented as whole berry as well as 30 m whole bunch fermented. Fermentation at a maximum temperature of 28 ° C lasted 7 -12 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine went into the traditional basket press, from which it was released directly into the barrel, where malolactic fermentation was completed. The wine then matured for 24 months in previously occupied French barriques and was bottled at the end of aging unfined and only lightly filtered.
