Information about "Iona One Man Band 2020"
The Iona One Man Band exemplifies a distinctive array of cool, peppery spices integrated with sturdy tannins and aromas of blackberries and dark cherries. It's based primarily on Petit Verdot, driven by 53% Syrah, Nebbiolo, Mourvèdre, and a whisper of Viognier. Invigorating mint and herbal nuances intertwine with mineral notes, reminiscent of Fynbos and fennel. On the palate, expect a balanced fusion of mint, raspberry, plum, and black cherry, supported by textural tannins that impart depth and structure.
Vinification followed traditional methods. After hand harvesting, grapes were destemmed and sorted on a vibration table without crushing. Following wild fermentation, the cap was gently punched down twice daily to achieve desired extraction.
After fermentation, extended maceration took place; wines were regularly tasted to assess the level of extraction and determine the optimal pressing time. Post-pressing, wines underwent spontaneous malolactic fermentation in barrels, aging for 12-16 months in 500-liter French oak, 25% of which were new.
