Product information "Donkiesbaai Rooiwijn 2017"
The Donkiesbaai Rooiwijn is an absolutely irresistible red wine cuvée of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. The bouquet of wild red berry fruit, violet flowers and a fine hint of herbaceous shrubbery ensnares the nose and continues seamlessly to the well-balanced palate, where it combines with deliciously dense fruit nuances, notes of dark cocoa and a mineral acidity. The fine-grained and slightly pebbly tannin rounds off this first-class pleasure experience in a perfect way.

Grenache Noir and Cinsault were left to ferment spontaneously all over the Bund. Spontaneous in this context means that no commercial yeasts have been added to the fermentation of the grapes and that the fermentation has been initiated exclusively by wild yeast naturally present in the environment and on the fruit. During fermentation, the cap is regularly immersed manually to transfer colour and concentration to the wine. The Syrah grapes were completely destemmed and fermented as whole berries without crushing. Once fermentation was complete, the three grape varieties matured separately for 12 months in French oak barrels, using no new wood. The wine was then blended and bottled.
