Information about "The Wolftrap Red 2024"
The Wolftrap Red 2024 reveals a dark and aromatic medley of black fruits, accented by fragrant violets, black pepper, and traces of smoked meat, with subtle hints of dried coriander and tar. The full-bodied palate echoes this intensity, delivering exciting flavor nuances of licorice, black olives, cardamom, lingonberries, red currants, and cloves. Seamlessly combining three Mediterranean varietals—Syrah (79%), Mourvèdre (20%), and a touch of Viognier (1%)—the mid-palate showcases a striking Swartland profile with deep fruit, floral, and tapenade notes. The finish is both smoky and juicy, making this a wonderfully versatile wine.
The Wolftrap honors the brave pioneers who journeyed into the Cape wilderness and set a trap at Boekenhoutskloof. To this day, neither a real nor mythical wolf has been sighted in the valley. The Wolftrap – a true original from Boekenhoutskloof!
The various varietals of this highly popular blend were fermented separately in stainless steel tanks and partially aged for nine months in French barriques before being blended and bottled.
