Product information "Vondeling Monsonia 2018"
The Vondeling Monsonia flows into the glass in a lush and deep purple-red colour and exudes an opulent bouquet of fragrant violets, dark fruits and smoky oak wood as well as fine hints of cloves, nutmeg and coriander seeds. On the palate the connoisseur is presented with elegant nuances of dark fruits, a chocolaty fullness and fine undertones of earthy truffles. Its full and silky viscous texture ends in a complex and spicy finish and provides a perfect pleasure experience.
Vondeling Monsonia was named in honour of "Monsonia Speciosa", a fynbos species native to Paardeberg, the home of Vondeling.

The grapes were cooled down overnight and the next morning they were partially destemmed but not crushed and fermented as a whole berry in open fermentation tanks. After a two-day cold swelling phase, the naturally wild fermentation began. This means that only the wild yeast naturally present on the fruit and in the surroundings started the fermentation. During fermentation, the cap was regularly immersed, which favours a more intense extraction of aromas, colour and tannin. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was transferred to the traditional basket press, where it was pressed directly into the barrel and malolactic fermentation was completed. The large French oak barrels used here consisted of one third new wood and two thirds of second and third wood. The different grape varieties matured for a total of 16 months in the barrel and were then blended with great care and bottled.
