Product information "Eikendal Charisma 2022"
Eikendal Charisma is an exciting cuvée of Shiraz, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese grapes. An ingenious composition in which Rhône, Spain and Italy come together to present a delicious creation that lives up to its name! While Shiraz provides a taut and fresh structure with aromatic and spicy notes, Petit Verdot gives this award-winning wine a richly berry character. Last but not least, Sangiovese brings deliciously fruity nuances of taste and completes this outrageously seductive, beguiling and simply brilliant drop!

The three grape varieties that have gone into this highly interesting cuvée were vinified separately. The grapes were destemmed but not crushed and subjected to a cold swelling phase of 10 to 15 days. The wines matured for 12 months in barriques of various sizes, after which they were skilfully blended with great care. Sangiovese is always added to the blend from the previous vintage to bring a freshness and Italian racyness to the wine. The finished cuvée was then stored for 3 months in stainless steel tanks before being lightly filtered and bottled for final enjoyment.
