Product information "Damascene Stellenbosch Cabernet Franc 2022"
The Damascene Stellenbosch Cabernet Franc exudes a vibrant bouquet of fresh fennel, blackberry, black cherry, dried violets, graphite and hints of sweet tobacco. An immensely fragrant wine that conjures up images of tomato bushes in the sun and campfires under starry skies. The dynamic and powerful palate coats a core of iodine overlaid with nuances of red and black currants, sour cherries and cranberries. The fresh fruit nuances are accompanied by a lively acidity and a remarkably pure, fleshy and grippy tannic structure that is not drowned out by the oak. The precise and lingering finish ends pleasantly dry and balanced.

Die Trauben wurden am 17. März 2022 bei einem Reifegrad von 24,9 °B von Hand geerntet.
Die Trauben wurden entrappt und mittels Schwerkraft in tulpenförmige Betonfermenter gefüllt, wo die ganzen Beeren drei Tage lang kalt mazeriert wurden, bevor die erste Gärung begann. Für eine optimale Extraktion wurde bis zu dreimal täglich umgepumpt, wobei die Gärtemperaturen maximal 28 °C erreichten. Die spontane malolaktische Umwandlung fand während der 11-monatigen Reifung in 1000-Liter-Fässern aus französischer Eiche statt.
