Information about "Zandvliet Hill of Enon Small Berry Shiraz 2021"
In a captivating deep ruby hue, the Zandvliet Hill of Enon Small Berry Shiraz reveals a rich tapestry of blueberries, licorice, and dark chocolate. These enticing aromas carry through to a full-bodied palate, showcasing nuanced oak notes alongside hints of plum, cigar box, and chocolate, finishing with a lush, silky texture.
The grapes are sourced from a distinctive terroir characterized by remarkably small berries, achieving exceptional ripeness ten days prior to adjacent vineyards. These concentrated grapes were meticulously hand-harvested to produce this outstanding Shiraz. Zandvliet is synonymous with 'Shiraz,' as it was one of the first estates to bottle this varietal in the renowned Robertson Valley Wine Route.
Das Traubengut für diesen erstklassigen Shiraz wurde zerstoßen und zunächst einer dreitägigen Kaltquellphase bei geregelten 10°C unterzogen, bevor die Fermentierung bei kontrollierten 25 – 30°C ihren Lauf nahm. Die malolaktische Gärung fand bei 18°C statt. Nach Abschluss der Gärung reifte der Wein 18 -24 Monate lang in einer Kombination aus zweitbelegten französischen sowie amerikanischen Eichenfässern.
