Product information "Idiom Cape Blend 2015"

Lush and broad with complex aromas and flavours ranging from Black Forest Cherry Tart to ripe raspberries and ripe summer cherries. Velvety tannins and a lively finish characterize this great wine.

The grapes for this red wine cuvée underwent a five-day cold swelling phase, after which they fermented in stainless steel tanks at optimal temperatures between 22-28°. Malolactic fermentation followed in steel tanks with wooden staves. The different wines of this cuvée matured separately for 10 months in French and American oak barrels, 45% of which were new wood. After the wines were blended, the finished cuvée matured for another 2-4 months in barrels.
