Product information "Lammershoek Mysteries Die Ou Man 2016"
Of intense and dense garnet red, the Lammershoek Mysteries Die Ou Man flows into the glass and its invitingly complex bouquet of dark berry fruit, pencil shavings, dark chocolate and spices rises to the nose. On the palate, this varietal Tinta Barroca presents itself with a perfect structure and ripe tannins and finishes wonderfully with an incredibly elegant and long lasting finish.
The grapes for this "Old Man" (Ou Man) come from vines planted in 1969 and still today, over half a century later, produce at least one barrel of first-class wine of the robust Tinta Barroca per vintage.

The extremely low yield of grapes is hand picked with the greatest care in the cool morning hours at optimal ripeness. On arrival at the winery, the berries were vinified in open French oak barrels, with the cap being submerged three or four times a day. Once the fermentation in the barrel was completed, the wine was transferred to the traditional basket press where it was gently pressed and then matured for 18 months in old French barriques. Before this noble drop of wine was released, the wine first matured for another 2 years in the bottle.
