Information about "Gabrielskloof Syrah on Shale 2018"
As part of Gabrielskloof's Landscape Series, the Gabrielskloof Syrah on Shale is lush and opulent with a wonderful blend of floral and spicy notes in the aromatic profile. A thoroughly extrovert of these wines! This Syrah has a strong aroma of red cherries, fragrant fynbos and olive tapenade. On the palate it is incredibly juicy and full-bodied with juicy tannins and a long and fine finish.
"The idea behind our two different Syrahs is to express the different facets of the two superficial soil types on Gabrielskloof, sandstone and slate, in a wonderful way with one and the same grape variety in two different wines. Our sandstone vineyards produce an almost perfumed Syrah of great elegance, while our heavier slate soils transmit excellent fruit concentration and wonderful depth to the wine. " Peter-Allan Finlayson

Das Traubengut für diesen hoch dotierten Syrah wurde handverlesen und in kleinen Körben in die Kellerei transportiert, wo es umgehend im Kühlraum bis zum nächsten Morgen runtergekühlt wurde. 60% der Trauben wurden entrappt, während der restliche Anteil am ganzen Bund verblieb. Die Fermentierung setzte auf natürlich spontane Weise ohne jeglichen Zusatz kommerzieller Hefen ein. Nach Abschluss der Gärung reifte der Wein 18 Monate lang in einer Kombination von 250L und 500LFässern aus französischer Eiche, von denen 30% Neuholz ausmachten.
