Information about "Boschendal Grande Syrah 2021"
The Boschendal Grande Syrah displays a vibrant ruby hue, captivating the senses with its enchanting bouquet of spices and exotic fruits. This lively wine gifts the palate with splendid oak notes intertwined with classic pepper accents, presenting a pure Shiraz fruit expression complemented by a subtle Old World elegance. The flawless melding of oak spice and tannins lends profound depth and complexity to this distinguished Syrah, culminating in a remarkable tasting adventure.
The grapes were handpicked and meticulously sorted upon arrival at the cellar. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with the addition of specially selected Rhône yeast at a fermentation temperature between 24-26°C. The wine underwent pump-overs every eight hours to maximize tannin and color extraction. Following fermentation, the Boschendal Grande Syrah matured for 14 months in 300L and 500L oak barrels, of which 30% was new wood and the rest second, third, and fourth fill barrels. After aging, the different components were blended in a 2500L barrel, and the cuvée spent an additional six months in barrel before bottling.
