Information about "Gabrielskloof Syrah on Sandstone 2017"
As part of Gabrielskloof's Landscape Series, the Gabrielskloof Syrah on Sandstone presents itself with a hearty bouquet of ripe blackberries, crushed pepper and floral notes of fragrant violets in the background - very typical aromas for a "cool climate" Syrah of stony, bouldery terroir. Its exciting spices are perfectly complemented by elegant and deliciously clear fruit nuances and the tannin framework ensures a great storage life.
"The idea behind our two different Syrahs is to express the different facets of the two superficial soil types on Gabrielskloof, sandstone and slate, in a wonderful way with one and the same grape variety in two different wines. Our sandstone vineyards produce an almost perfumed Syrah of great elegance, while our heavier slate soils transmit excellent fruit concentration and wonderful depth to the wine. " Peter-Allan Finlayson

Das Traubengut für diesen hoch dotierten Syrah wurde handverlesen und in kleinen Körben in die Kellerei transportiert, wo es umgehend im Kühlraum bis zum nächsten Morgen runtergekühlt wurde. 60% der Trauben wurden entrappt, während der restliche Anteil am ganzen Bund verblieb. Die Fermentierung setzte auf natürlich spontane Weise ohne jeglichen Zusatz kommerzieller Hefen ein. Nach Abschluss der Gärung reifte der Wein 18 Monate lang in 500 l Fässern aus französischer Eiche, von denen 30% Neuholz ausmachten.
