Product information "Richard Kershaw The Smuggler's Boot GSM Blend 2017"
The Richard Kershaw The Smuggler's Boot GMS Blend ensnares the senses with an attractive bouquet of fragrant raspberry coulis, crushed peppercorns and intense hints of blackcurrant pastilles fused with warm brown sugar. Fresh and juicy on the palate, the texture is lush, yet subtly sandy. The wine develops on the palate with fine powdery tannin, which gives the middle palate a well-developed framework and provides a particularly good storage potential. Complex with the wonderful fleshiness of the Grenache grape, entwined with the fleshy edge of the Mourvedre. Delicious nuances of raspberry, molasses and red velvet cake pamper the palate in the long and pleasant finish and continue to resonate deliciously long after the last sip.

The grapes were sourced from areas that are warm but also experience cool nights, i.e. wine growing areas such as Tulbagh and Swartland. This produces wines of structure and richness and the winemaking was done with a simple approach, no'tricks'. This wine fermented and was then briefly matured in older oak barrels to add complexity but not create spicy oak notes.

Sehr feiner Lamm Begleiter!
Wir haben den Blend, wie empfohlen, zur geschmorten Lammschulter getrunken und waren sehr begeistert. Die würzigen Noten haben sehr gut harmoniert. Das nächste Mal probieren wir ihn zu Gegrilltem.
