Information about "Thistle and Weed Knapsekêrel Cabernet Franc 2024"
This exceptional biodynamic Thistle and Weed Knapsekêrel Cabernet Franc is sourced from the Oudeberg vineyard in the Polkadraai region of Stellenbosch, where it grows amidst Knapsekêrel weeds. The vineyard's proximity to the ocean provides refreshing breezes that contribute to the wine's distinctive character. The nose reveals complex aromas of thyme, violets, and blackberries, harmoniously elevated by concentrated plums and elegant minerality. A truly outstanding red wine experience!
Interestingly, Knapsekêrel also signifies “handsome man” in Afrikaans, and while commonly considered a weed, it serves as a nutritional and medicinal resource in numerous communities worldwide!
Eine natürliche Fermentation wird gefördert, gefolgt von acht Monaten in älteren französischen Eichenfässern, und es wurde keine Filtration oder Klärung vorgenommen, sodass mit etwas Sediment in der Flasche zu rechnen ist
