Product information "De Grendel Rubáiyát 2017"
The De Grendel Rubáiyát presents intense red in the glass and ensnares the nose with a subtle savory bouquet of toasted black olives, wild fynbos vegetation, red berries and black plums. The palate is clean and lush with remarkable concentration and stunning intensity. Its finely textured tannins give a wonderfully full-bodied and flavorful wine with a lingering finish.

Part of the wine was made with the aerated pump method in a closed tank with prolonged skin contact. The rest was made with the punch-down method, using a pneumatic punch-down system four times a day and night. This punch-down method provides a much more concentrated extraction of aromas, flavors and color. The two components were pressed separately and blended only when they were transferred to new French oak barrels, where the malolactic fermentation and subsequent aging for 18 months were completed.
