Information about "Val du Charron Black Countess 2022"
The Val du Charron Black Countess 2022 enchants with a deep hue and ruby rim. This sophisticated wine presents a complex medley of blackcurrant, blueberry, blackberry, and cherry, accentuated by dried herbs, vanilla, and cinnamon. The palate reveals delightful notes of sweet cranberry, cherry, and chocolate, creating a sumptuous richness. Dominant red fruit flavors are beautifully complemented by well-integrated oak influences. This robust blend comprises 40% Shiraz, 24% Pinotage, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Grenache Noir, and 6% Petit Verdot.
Dubbed the Black Countess, it honors Martha, the first woman of color in the British Empire and daughter of a freed slave, who married Harry Grey, the first Earl of Stamford. Despite facing scorn from British aristocrats, Martha returned to South Africa, dedicating her wealth to establishing farm schools for children of all races and genders—a true pioneer in philanthropy!
Nach der Gärung freifte der Wein 16 Monate in Barriques aus französischer Eiche. Danach erfolgt der Blending-Prozess und die Abfüllung.
