Product information "Keermont Amphitheatre 2018"
Of bright and dense purple in the glass, the Keermont Amphitheatre opens with its beguiling bouquet of powdery ripe strawberry aromas, baked dessert, subtle vanilla and the scent of sweet citrus blossoms a true feast for the senses! On the palate, this highly endowed and classic Bordeaux-style cuvée presents a taut tannic structure and a delicious array of nuances, ranging from ripe plums and aromatic berry fruit to subtle notes of herbs and fine oak. The finish is incredibly long-lasting and juicy with lingering cherry nuances and grippy tannin.

The grapes for the Amphitheatre were hand-picked at optimal ripeness and vinified separately. The fermentation process took place in an extremely gentle and natural way in open fermenters and with the help of traditional methods. Once fermentation was complete, the wines were blended and the cuvée aged for 19 months in a combination of first, second and third fill French oak barrels before being bottled by hand without filtering. Before release, the wine matured in bottle in Keermont's cellar for a further five years to ensure perfect integration and maturity.
