The wines are concentrated, not overloaded, but elegant.
The palate is fruity and ripe but not jammy and sweet. The tannins are just lovely with a spicy finish.

The grapes always come from Rondekop vineyards grown at an altitude of 200-220 meters.
These vineyards are extremely exposed to the wind, resulting in thick-skinned berries that deliver highly concentrated juice

VINIFICATION
The grapes were hand picked and de-stemmed BUT not crushed.
The de-stemmed grapes were cooled to 8°C and "cold soaked" for 168 hours.
Fermentation took place at 25°C, followed by a 35-day maceration on the skins.
After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine went into 60% new French oak barrels for 18 months.

MATURATION
Affordable now but will reward careful storage over the next 10-15 years
