Product information "de Trafford Blueprint Syrah 2015"
The de Trafford Blueprint Syrah stands for a jewel in the wine sky. With its purple colour in the glass, it initially appears slender and finely reserved. The nose initially perceives cold minerality, which then changes to spicy peppery notes with undertones of smoked meat, herbaceous fynbos and subtle nuances of eucalyptus as well as subtly hidden aromas of fine berry fruit.On the palate, too, at first a little reserved and shy, but then it unfolds a complex palette of flavours, with lively and fine tannins that keep the wine fresh and tart until the long finish.

The grapes were hand-picked, destemmed and lightly crushed (10% of the grapes on the whole bunch) directly into open fermenters and fermented spontaneously with natural yeasts at max 30° degrees. The cap of the marc was immersed by hand 2-3 times a day for a period of 16 days. The juice was pressed by the basket press directly into the barrels. The malolactic fermentation took place in the wood. The wine then matured for 20 months in barrels, using no new wood. The wine was bottled unfiltered and unclarified by hand.
