Information about "Grangehurst Flagship 2014"
Grangehurst Red Blend is a classic Bordeaux-style cuvée and is without doubt the flagship of the Grangehurst Winery. Dark ruby red in the glass, this premium blend ensnares the nose with a seductive bouquet of red berry fruit, subtle mint tones, fragrant cedar wood and delicious mocha aromas. These notes, already picked up by the nose, are also seamlessly carried through to the palate, where soft and ripe tannins ensure stylish enjoyment.

Treatment in the cellar
The grapes were harvested by hand into lug baskets (± 18 kg per basket); sorting of grapes prior
to destemming and hand sorting again between the destemmer and crusher; then crushed (± 50%
whole berries) and pumped to open fermenters; manual punchdowns (pigeage) six to eight times per
day for the duration of fermentation; between 7 and 11 days on skins, then drawn off and pressed
using wooden basket presses; free-run and press wines blended and racked to 225 litre barrels;
malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks and barrels; barrel to barrel and barrel to tank
rackings to clarify the wine – no filtration prior to racking to the bottling tanks.
This wine was clarified according to the settling and racking method, which does not involve the
use of any fining agents, centrifuges or filters – a natural, unhurried method of clarifying wine.
Matured in French oak barrels for 35 months.
