Information about "Kloovenburg Eight Feet Red 2023"
The Kloovenburg Eight Feet Red 2023 captivates with its deep ruby hue, exuding an enticing aroma of red berries and spicy Fynbos notes that reflect the essence of South African terroir. This harmonious blend, composed of 48% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, and 7% Carignan, reveals concentrated fruit flavors on the palate, supported by a refined structure. The wine combines elegance and power, leaving a long, lingering finish.
Treatment in the cellar
The entire harvesting process was carried out by hand in the early hours of the morning, and the grapes were then cooled overnight in an air-conditioned room at 5 °C. A large proportion (85%) of the Syrah was then pressed and destemmed, while the remaining 15% was fermented whole bunch. Of the Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan, 30% was fermented as whole grapes, while the rest was destemmed and crushed. This was followed by three days of cold extraction at 9 °C, covered with a CO₂ blanket.
Fermentation took place in open fermentation tanks. All grapes fermented spontaneously and separately. Extraction was carried out by pumping over twice a day. After fermentation was complete, the wine was left on the skins for a further seven days. The Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan were pressed into neutral French oak barrels ranging from 300 L to 500 L. The pressed portion was stored separately. Malolactic fermentation was completed in the barrel. The wine was then racked off the lees and treated with a low dose of sulphur. The wine spent a total of nine months in the barrel before being blended and bottled.
