Information about "Keermont Pondokrug Cabernet Franc 2018"

The Keermont Pondokrug Cabernet Franc captivates with its deep violet hue and hints of pink at the rim, releasing a bouquet of classic Fynbos herbs combined with ripe strawberries and red fruit confectionery. On the palate, it presents intense notes of red berries, accented by a touch of effervescence, cloves, and blackcurrants. The tannin structure is firm and grippy, supported by an expressive core of acidity, culminating in a long, profoundly dry finish that showcases the wine's mastery.

Pondok Rug, a mountain ridge, takes its name from a simple shepherd’s hut (Pondok).

Treatment in the cellar

Das Traubengut für diesen erstklassigen Cabernet Franc wurde handgelesen und je nach Reb-Block und Reifegrad separat vinifiziert. Der Gärungsvorgang fand auf natürliche, traditionelle und besonders behutsame Art und Weise in offenen Fermentern statt. Nach Abschluss der Gärung reifte der Wein 20 Monate lang in französischen Barriques und wurde anschließend ungefiltert per Hand auf die Flasche gefüllt.
